Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb Army leader who is considered responsible for the Srebrenica massacre, arrived in The Hague Tuesday. He will be placed in the same detention center as the others facing trial in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Mr. Mladic faces the prospect of spending the rest of his life in detention, but as detention centers go, the 'Hague Hilton,' as it is sometimes called, may not be such a bad place to stay.
Privacy and comfort
Mladic will be given a cell of his own, furnished with a bed, desk, bookshelves, a cupboard, toilet, sink, and telephone (although all calls go through the detention center’s staff). The cell is about 100 square feet in size – bigger than many of the dorm rooms that college freshmen share.
And you won’t see standard orange jumpsuits here. Inmates are allowed to wear their own clothing.
