While there is an uproar in Peru about jailers photographing suspected killer Joran van der Sloot, where he is seen posing with two other men held in Castro Casto prison, held in connection with high-profile killings, the world got to see a long awaited glimpse of Joran’s life behind bars.
Based on Joran’s body language, things don’t seem too bad for 22 year old Joran. Joran’s facial expression speaks volumes. His dimpled and serene smile shows that things aren’t that bad for him in Castro Castro prison. In fact he looks rather happy.
His head is even casually cocked to the side as he most likely wonders what new and exciting adventure and experience is coming up next.
He doesn’t look skinny or haggard at all, but rather well fed. You can see the outline of his body shape through his white soiled and dingy buttoned down shirt.
He’s even changed up his look with a little chin beard and moustache which makes him looks less boyish.The dyed red coloring of his hair has now grown out as well.
LIKE MINDED FRIENDS IN PRISON
He’s obviously found some like- minded new friends as he stands along side fellow inmates with whom he apparently has a lot in common-the killing of innocent women.
Hugo Trujillo Ospina, nicknamed “the Clown” based on his dysmorphic appearance, and down turned eyes is accused of being the hit man for hire in killing a wealthy Peruvian business woman Myryam Feffer, seen on the right. Ospina was allegedly hired by Feffer’s lesbian daughter who now sits in a women’s prison in Peru along with her lover.
Castro Castro seems to have turned the Clown’s frown right side up. He is now beaming and smiling as she stands next to his tall prison mate and card playing partner, Joran.
In the photo we not only see hm with a heaarty snile, but he is even happy enough to make some gangconsisting of awkward hand and finger gestures for the camera.
William Trickett Smith II, also in the photo is accused of killing his Peruvian wife by dismembering her and stuffing her body in a suitcase that fishermen later found offshore.
Trickett is to the far left of the group photo. He’s obviously made a friend in Castro Castro as well. It is clearly the blurred out fellow standing next to him who has his fingers splayed out on William’s upper back near his neck area, indicting friendship. Perhpas it may even be a very close friendship. Like Joran, William has also grown out the hair on his head and grown some sparse facial hair.
As far as the fellow in the blue tee shirt who is blurred out, I doubt that if he was a prisoner, he was blurred out to protect his privacy rights. He may very well be one of the officers who is up for disciplinary action. He certainly had his tee shirt up high around his neck towards his chin in the photo. Maybe that was his way of instinctively covering up as he may have known that posing with these criminals was not a smart thing to do. But he did it anyway.
I should also add that when these photos were released the names of those in the photos were mismatched to their actual picture . So it was a bit confusing to initially determine who was who until the photos were studied in greater detail.
Since these men appear to have so much in common, there may be a camaraderie and lot to discuss. The fact that William Trickett Smith II speaks English may also add to Joran’s comfort level.
After this embarassing fiasco, Peruvian authorities now reported that Joran is the only one in the protective custody wing, There is little doubt that he is as isolated as we once thought he would be. Perhaps he has been able to use his gambling money or some of his savings to buy protection from the guards, visits from non threatening inmates, and even better quality food from the outside .
JORAN MAY BE RELAXED BECAUSE HIS LEGAL PROCESS IS ON HOLD INDEFINITELY
IF NOT PERMANENTLY
Joran’s body language n the photo also shows that he seems to be relaxed as though he doesn’t have a care in the world.
It is understandable as to why he may be feeling that way. Apparently there us a new snafu and the legal process against him, It has ground to a halt because no official interpreter can be found. The Peruvian television station showed a letter from the Peruvian association of translators and interpreters which said it has no one who can translate from Spanish into Dutch.
The Dutch embassy has also produced a letter in which it says it has no official interpreter available. Even though the Dutch Embassy says it provides a list of lawyers and interpreters to a national abroad facing criminal charges, it does not provide the interpreters themselves.
So Joran will not be tried and sentenced until an interpreter will be found which may be- NEVER !!!!!. This way Joran will be locked up but he will be safe as he remains in protective custody indefinitely or perhaps until his life ends.
I don’t see what they don’t get a translator who can translate Spanish to English and then get someone who can translate English to Dutch. But perhaps it is a ploy by the Dutch Embassy to further protect Joran, just like they clearly did when he was in Aruba.
To me this screams of manipulation. Joran was obviously well versed enough in English to communicate with Natalie Holloway. He is fluent enough in English to do articulate interviews with Greta van Sustern .
He was well versed enough in Spanish to communicate with Stefany Flores. And well he was versed enough to get two taxi drivers to help him escape.
It seems that he may very well be protected by the Dutch Embassy. They know for certain that if their citizen goes to trial in Peru, he will most likely be sent to a worse prison and into the general population where he will be raped and murdered within a matter of minutes.
So the best they can do for Joran and for the memory of his well connected father, Paulus Van der Sloot is to keep him in a situation where he will remain in a “less worse “ prison and be safe from harm by remaining in protective custody forever.
KARMIC JUSTICE FOR JORAN
But no matter how hard Joran, his attorney, or the Dutch Embassy manipulates the situation, Joran may very well succumb to his destined Karma. Maybe he won’t receive justice as we know it, but he will receive Karmic justice.
Perhaps he won’t be killed by a fellow prisoner, but he may very well be killed by disease due to the unhealthy living conditions,poor sanitation, lack of nutrition, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. www.drlillianglass.com
