VanderSloot’s mother has washed her hands of him. At least that’s what she said on her last interview so it’s doubtful he’s going to be getting money from anyone. And his father is dead now so he’s pretty much on his own.

No, Van Der Sloot will not survive there. Soon the headlines will read “Sloot killed first week at del Lurigancho Prison”!

If money enables you to thrive there, Van Der Sloot’s mom will make sure Joran has enough to run the whole prison. He’ll probably thrive there, he’s deviant enough.

Very interesting story of your experience!

About Van der Sloot, I don’t know if he’s more likely to survive in a prison in the mountains, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s killed at Lurigancho, assuming he goes there.

Well, it kind of sounds like a great place to be if the prisoners are in charge of everything. I certainly hope that this little shit Joran Van der Sloot gets sent to the really cold prison in the mountains.

Maybe the Peruvian authorities could arrange tourist packages. 6 months in Lurigancho! Adapt or Die!

You should definitely recount your experiences somehow, maybe on the web. I’m sure you have lots of stories to tell. I guess I don’t have to ask what you were in there for, usually only one thing.

I spent 6 months in Lurigancho which was one of the most fun experiences of my life. You have to love challenge and excitement to thrive there. I was in with all the different gangs and bosses and latter escaped by bribes. The reality is you adapt or die.
