He was shown a lot more compassion yesterday than he ever showed during the war when they allowed him to visit the grave of his daughter. The Guardian:

"In the detention unit, he will be introduced to the regulations and the rules of the unit and of the tribunal, he will be give a copy of the indictment and then a medical examination," said Nerma Jelacic, the spokeswoman for the International criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague.

"He will be held in a isolation cell on his own for at least few days so that his assimilation can be monitored, and after that he will be in a cell in one of the three wings of the detention unit."

After the first few days, Mladic will be able to mix with the prison's other 36 war crimes defendants of various nationalities, including other Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. They have an exercise yard, computers, televisions, art classes and even massage on request.
In a related story, the young boy who was photographed with Mladic during the war has recently been found. The rest of his male family were killed during the massacre.
