If not, I think if he gets stuck in a Peruvian prison he will be praying for death.

Unfortunately, Peru did away with the death penalty several years ago.

But from all I’ve read, life in a Peruvian prison is hell on earth.

I do not think Peru has the death penalty but I do think they have life without parole (based on one source).

Peru has a death penalty for exceptional circumstance, such as military and war crimes; murder is considered ordinary, so its unlikely.
