Joran van der Sloot is no stranger to life in jail but his new home is a far cry from the luxuries he had grown used to during his 18 months at Lima's Castro Castro prison.

After he was sentenced to 28 years on January 13 for the May 2010 murder of Stephany Flores, van der Sloot was transferred to the high security facility of Piedras Gordas in northern Lima in response to criticism that his living conditions were too comfortable, and Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively reveal that since the move his health has been in a downward spiral.

"His health has suffered and he is not doing well there," an insider exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News. "Joran blames the food and the water, he says that he is depressed and feeling weak all the time."

During his time at Castro Castro, the 24-year-old Dutchman enjoyed such perks as access to books, money, calling cards, internet access - and even conjugal visits.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the convicted killer was rumored to have gotten his girlfriend pregnant while he was incarcerated. Although his former lawyer denied the baby story, he told Breaking Celebrity News that sex was permitted behind bars.
