They (Peru) also have some of the worst prisons in South America. Regardless of his sentence, he'll problem only be in there a few years ... if he is luck to last that long....

Joran’s mother, artist and teacher Anita van der Sloot was shocked by the reports regarding her son, says the Dutch lawyer of Bert de Rooij in the Dutch press. De Rooij, who represented Joran in the Netherlands, states that the arrest and the new imputations have caused the family much sorrow.
