Joran Van der Sloot, suspect in Natalee Holloway disappearance, films self in jail: ‘I am making this video for my own security’
The 27-year-old convicted killer was transferred to a maximum security prison last month and quickly went on a hunger strike to protest the jail's conditions. The Dutch citizen is serving 28 years in prison for killing a Peruvian business student in 2010 and is the prime suspect in Holloway's 2005 disappearance.
New video shows Dutch convicted murderer Joran Van der Sloot — the prime suspect in Natalee Holloway's disappearance — behind bars in Peru.
Recorded in a maximum security prison in a remote area of South American country, the video was shot on a jail director's cellphone, Van der Sloot explained.
"I am making this video for my own security," he said. He admitted that he wasn't sure why the jail's head let him use the phone.
Then, the video cuts to footage of a prison guard frisking the convicted killer in a lineup with other inmates and taking his blood pressure.
Last week, Van der Sloot went on a hunger strike to protest the conditions in his jail.
The 27-year-old Dutch citizen was transferred to the maximum-security facility last month after he threatened to kill the warden of his previous jail.
Van der Sloot is serving 28 years in prison for murdering a 21-year-old Peruvian businesses student, Stephany Flores, in 2010. Peru could extradite him to the U.S. for questioning over Holloway's 2005 disappearance — but not before his current prison term is up, NBC News reported.
Van der Sloot was the last person seen with Holloway before she went missing while on a graduation trip to Aruba.
Earlier this year, he married his pregnant girlfriend, Leidy Figueroa.
Poor guy! </ sarc>
When did they start letting prisoners have cameras?
There are some people that are just too evil to live. Van der Sloot is one of them. My wife has never agreed with me on this but I don’t think she’s seen the same amount and depth of human depravity that I have.
If I were that Holloway girl’s father, him being in prison would be a problem, because I wouldn’t be able to easily get to him.
I would have lobbied for his release at trial.
His IS truly evil. Beard makes himook like a jihadi.
His security matters very little to me. He shouldn’t be wasting oxygen.
He looks like a muzzie. And my hope is that someone will off him in prison.
It’s not hard to see why the warden allowed Van Sloot to use his phone. It’s easy to see that he realm isn’t starving and the warden probably needed a good laugh.
The Peruvian father could have him killed for a hundred dollars.
He should have received a death sentence.
Joran is his own worst enemy and this max security prison is proof.
It may just come to a very bad end for him, he deserves it.
Urine In Der Chute? Who cares?
Every man, deep inside, has the ability to think like a predator. If he didn't we would not have survived as a species.
The ability to think like a predator allows men to recognize predatory behavior in other men. Often times women do not see it.
I don’t know what good this video is going to do. There’s probably 15 people max in the world who care about his security and would be upset if something happens to him.
I think about pretty flowers.
Trade him to the Islamic State for a journalist...
He went on a hunger strike? Now that’s funny. He thinks people care how he dies.
In 3rd world crap holes like that, anything is possible. Where I worked, it would be called over familiarity with inmates, and the staff member would be fired.
