As far as being in the Peruvian jail, money from his mother and/or his family in Holland can make life a little easier for her son.
The way the Peruvian jails are run (right out of the Dark Ages, btw) is that prisoners with cash can buy food and other comforts, plus, in many cases, protection.
As heinous as he is, I doubt the authorities will not allow anything bad such as rape to happen to their extremely high-profile boarder. I would rather imagine that Peru, as a country, doesn't need or want to appear primitive or barbaric.
Van der Sloot will not have a bed of roses by any means, but he will be shielded in some way or another from being beaten, raped or murdered.....despite all the pre-trial babbling, speculation, and hoping to the contrary.

“I would rather imagine that Peru, as a country, doesn’t need or want to appear primitive or barbaric.”
Peru’s prison system is already primitive and barbaric.
He better be hoping his mamma sends him Vaseline!
A LOT of Vaseline!
I agree....don’t think he’s a serial killer but he is an arrogant, narcissitic mysoginist and his playboy ways are OVER.....
Then I imagine they’ll ratchet up the “protection money” every year. They’ll see what the traffic will bear. For a kid she may never see but a handful of times ever again. Beth won’t get Natalie back, either, but she’ll never have to pay criminals for the rest of her life to keep an only son safe from prison justice.

I agree with you that in the short term, he will be quite safe. However, time will pass, and attention will be directed elsewhere.
