Indeed, this is incorrect. He didn't die in prison but his death was likely precipitated by the conditions of his imprisonment.
From Wikipedia[1]:
> In March 2005, in Orsha prison, Marynich suffered a cerebral stroke. The stroke was provoked by the prison administration when Marynich was denied access to his medicines after a very hard transportation in unheated train wagons from Minsk to Orsha. [...] Marynich died on 17 October 2014, at the age of 74. His death was officially ruled a homicide, caused by the stroke he received in prison 9 years earlier.

- avodonosov 5y agoWell, the "officially ruled a homicide" part seems false too, the reference after this sentence in the wikipedia article leads to a tut.by news post, where nothing is said about "ruled a homicide". But overall, I agree, his case looks unlawful and politically motivated, from what I can find in the public sources (the wikipedia and tut.by) - he was sentenced for stealing computers that US Embassy provided to his NGO, while US Department released a statement that they don't have any claims against him.
