Can’t fathom how he hasn’t been taken out already.

The thought of him getting out one day is infuriating.
He is not getting out. A deal was made. The day he is released from prison he will be on a direct flight to Alabama to face charges there.

I don’t think many here appreciate the staggering reach of the TD world. Where else would you see the above quote?

What's sad is that if this exact same story happened in 2025, everybody would just shrug it off like it was nothing because everybody is now immune to these incidents.

46 years in Peru jail.
Then I also think if he is released the USA gets home for extortion and wire fraud.
A Peruvian judge ruled on June 25, 2010 that the confession was valid, and on January 13, 2012, Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years' imprisonment for Flores's murder.
In January 2023, an additional 18 years were added to his sentence for trafficking cocaine while in prison.
On June 8, 2023, Van der Sloot was extradited to the United States to face trial for extortion and wire fraud

Thank you for doing God’s work.

Yes, that is my point, he has a 28 year sentence for that killing and is not a lifer. Let's hope he dies in prison before he has a chance to get out.
i believe he already has 20+ to be served in alabama the second he gets done in peru

This is an abbreviated account, but long, and as I warned before may be boring, but is so interesting to me.
On a personal level, I first visited a Peruvian prison in 2000. I have ministered in 7 different prisons with two of them I visited the most, and one of these I planted a church on the inside that is still in operation and will be 25 years old in March. We are 1 of 3 outside churches that have been granted permission to have an organized congregation. I used to travel back and forth, but moved there to live full time, to which I did for a little under 10 years. Though I don’t live there any longer, I am still involved and try to go and visit each year. When I lived there, I visited the prison every day for six or more hours except on family days. Though I could, I respected their time with their families, and didn’t go. I used a translator when I first started, but I became fluent in Spanish in prison.
My typical day in the prison usually consisted of preaching in our daily church service, take care of church administration (yes that still occurs even in a prison church) then I would spend about 3 hours with about 15 men discipling them. God raised up men who were the village thief, drunk or men who were falsly accused to be ministers not only in the prison but also out. There men who are in ministry right now as free men.
Enough about my back story. Now on to some things that I know about Peruvian prisons.
1. In Peru there are no state systems, everything is federal. The police, the courts, the prison system, all are federal. Each department (state) has a prison. Though all federally ran prisons. There can be drastic differences between them. As with all things, depends on leadership. Differences such as the morale of the inmates, how the guards treated them, the quality of the food (even though the quality and quantity suffered, some did better then others), medical care and cleanliness.
2. You are guilty until proven innocent. I knew an inmate who was with his best friend out on the town one evening. They were brutally attacked and the best friend died in his arms. While the friend was dying someone else saw them, reported it, and the man was arrested and spent 10 months in prison until he was proven to be innocent. Which is difficult and there is not much hope, because much of the justice system is corrupt, though there are exceptions. So when an inmate in Peru says they’re innocent, unlike here, the probability is actually higher that they really are.
3. Like most prisons there is an hierarchy, but it’s not for violence and restitution (though it could be, just not often as the inmates are pretty chill), but rather for helping the prison administration with cleaning and work schedules for those who did prison jobs. The inmates did have to pay the prison boss in order to get better favor and better jobs.
3. The prisons are overcrowded. Inmates live in groups of 10-15 in cells designed for 4. Men sleep on the floor or together on the concrete beds. The shower and toilet situations are out in the open like they are here. The guards put the men in the cells at 7 pm and lock each cell with a pad lock. They would then open them each morning at 7 am. During the day the men would normally pass the day out in the open concrete pavilion gambling, washing clothes, selling their wares or snacks.
4. There is an economy inside the prison. There are inmates who own bodegas (little stores), others owned restaurants (I kid you not, as I have eaten in them) these are not state owned but inmate owned. There are “door to door” salesmen selling things like clothes, jello, donuts, ceviche, etc. then they also worked to make crafts that were sold on family days. They were always trying to earn money. Now they usually weren’t good with their money as many would gable it away.
5. As I shared before there is little violence and homosexuality as compared to here because of the family and conjugal visits. There is not much pent up testosterone. I know of men who married and fathered children all while being incarcerated.
6. As far as the food is concerned , they would get a piece of bread and tea or coffee for breakfast. For lunch (the largest meal) they would be slopped out out 5 gallon buckets. The meal would be between rice, potatoes or carrots, as they are real cheap and readily available. As far as protein is considered, it would be a small piece of the toughest and cheapest meat there was. If it was fish, it would be the lowest of the lowest, and not fresh. In one prison they would share their lunch with me each day. If you had money you could eat and snack throughout the day. I used to love buying the donuts filled with dulce de leche.
I love sharing about these things, I pray they were enjoyable and interesting.

Thank you, I was a drunken thieving, fornicator whom God saved by his grace and changed. As a result, he is worthy of using my life anyway he so chooses. It has been an adventure to say the least.

Note to self: stay far, far away from Peru.
