Message from ICC: A Glimpse of The Hague
Scheveningen Prison: The Hague
The ICC currently has twelve detention cells in a Dutch prison in Scheveningen, The Hague. Suspects held by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia are held in the same prison and share some facilities, like the fitness room, but have no contact with suspects held by the ICC. The ICC registrar is responsible for managing the detention centre. The rules governing detainment are contained in Chapter 6 of the Regulations of the Court and Chapter 5 of the Regulations of the Registry.The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has unrestricted access to the detention centre.
Facilities
Each individual has his own toilet and washing area. They have access to a small gym and are offered training with a physical education instructor.
Detainees are provided with meals, but they may also cook for themselves, purchase food from the prison shop, and have ingredients ordered in, i,e Mursik, waru, mokimu. Each detainee has a personal computer in his cell, on which he can view material related to their case.They are offered computer training, if required, and language courses.
Detainees’ rights
Detainees are allowed to communicate in private with their defence teams and diplomatic representatives of their countries of origin. They are permitted visits from family members, wives and partners, and spiritual advisors.

What The ICC should know is that Kenya is very much diff Btw Yugoslavia/DRC /Liberia and other African countries Uhuru /Ruto are going nowhere!
Uhuru/Ruto controls the biggest tribes of Kenya namely Kikuyu/(Gema) Kamatusa these two big tribes can turn Kenya into another 3rd World war when the western world economies is clumbling .The ICC should stop joking with THE GREAT LIONS OF AFRICA:
Kenya is super-Power and a Giant to be reckoned in Africa. What is THNE ICC ?
UHURU/RUTO is not Radicko Mradic or Radovan Kharadzic or Charles Tylor.
The Computers in the Hague Cells cannot communicate with outside world.They are Programmed and cut from communicating elsewhere exept to your Lawyer .Jail is not hotel or Gicheha Farm .Telephones are wired (Wanaskia all what you are saying regardless which language. Ruto may speak Lumbwa .Uhuru can as well speak Ni Kwa Nyina Language If he like or wish. Being in these Tiger cages you are (nyama) and you are nothing but shit(Zero) So these Malefactors better adviced to learn how to squat and to say Diyo Affande!
