Van der Sloot is currently being held in a the maximum-security Castro Castro prison in eastern Lima. He asked to be separated from the other prisoners after receiving death threats from the prison population. Friends, family, and even van der Sloot's own mother have refused to visit him—his mother recently told reporters that her son suffers from mental problems, and that he should suffer the consequences for committing the Flores' murder. Sources say that van der Sloot's lawyers may attempt an insanity plea, hoping to reduce the Dutchman's sentence to six years. But insanity isn't enough to prevent a protracted prison sentence; if a suspect ruled clinically insane still demonstrates a knowledge of right and wrong they can be punished to the fullest extent of the law for their crimes. If tried and convicted, van der Sloot faces anywhere from 15 to 35 years in prison.
