SCHEVENINGEN, THE NETHERLANDS (JULY 22, 2008) REUTERS -
An ordinary Dutch prison? Not quite. Perched on the edge of this
blustery resort, this jail is the home of several figures convicted of or
suspected of committing some of the worst atrocities in post-war European
history.
    If, as is expected, Bosnian Serb president Radovan Karadzic is
extradited from Serbia to the Netherlands, it is in this prison that he will
be held pending his trial and immediately after any sentencing. 
    After being formally taken into custody by the Dutch authorities,
Karadzic will then be handed over to the U.N. detention unit at the prison
prior to his initial appearance at the International Criminal Tribunal for the
Former Yugoslavia a day or so later.
    The prison's most notorious inmate to date was Serbian former strongman
Slobodan Milosevic, who died behind its bars in 2007, his trial still under
way. 
    Karadzic's trial will take place a couple of kilometres away in the
Hague at the ICTY.
