Russian authorities want to use prison labor to drive down the costs of holding the 2018 World Cup. The Russian prison service is backing a bid by Alexander Khinshtein, a lawmaker from the ruling United Russia party, to allow prisoners to be taken from their camps to work at factories, with a focus on driving down the costs of building materials for World Cup projects. ''It'll help in the sense that there will be the opportunity to acquire building materials for a lower price, lower than there is currently on the market,'' Khinshtein told The Associated Press.
