Even if that were possible, Ongwen may be too damaged to be very effective at such a "punishment." And it would be very cruel to expose him to the same environment which traumatized him enough to make him into a brutal commander.

I have doubts that a Dutch prison is quite the same environment as a child being kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to fight in the LRA.

I must have misread OP, because it sounded like they were suggesting Ongwen be sent back to try to rehabilitate other fighters.
