Peruvian police hustled Joran van der Sloot through a gauntlet of photographers and angry bystanders Friday into a prison system observers call one of the world’s worst.

The 22-year-old Dutchman is charged with murdering Peruvian business student Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room May 30.

He’s also the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance in Aruba of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway – but he’s never been charged.

Van der Sloot was taken to the Miguel Castro Castro prison on the outskirts of Lima where, reports CBS News Correspondent Elaine Quijano, he was strip-searched, X-rayed and given a medical exam.

That facility, observes CBS News legal analyst Trent Copeland, is “a place with poor nutrition, lack of sanitation, overcrowding — immense overcrowding, and where epidemic levels of HIV and tuberculosis are known to exist.”
