So today I had one of those "find a series of links from doing something else" moments. I went online to check my email, ended up reading about Van der Sloot being in a Peruvian Prison named Miguel Castro prison, the jail that houses the country’s most dangerous convicts, who are doing time for common crimes, terrorism and drug trafficking. Van der Sloot is the suspect in the Holloway case and the last person people saw her with.
Michael Griffith, Senior Partner at the International Legal Defense Council says, "You ever see MSNBC's 'Lockup,' the program that covers all these American prisons? Let me put it to you like this. These guys on that show think they're tough, but if you sent them down to Peru, the prisoners there would make them into women. I'm telling you. You just don't know how bad it is. Van der Sloot has no idea what's coming.". I think he's got a point! I mean, if the new warden is murdered on the first day on the job, one can only imagine what luck Van der Sloot will have. However, he could just as easily bribe the guards or other prisoners for protection or escape.
Finally, I discovered the movie Midnight Express which I hadn't even heard of let alone know it was based on the story of an American man who was incarcerated in a Turkish Prison. It was one of Michael Griffith's notorious cases. It won 2 Oscars so I might just have to watch it!
