Bryan Kohberger, convicted of murdering four people, has requested a transfer from the solitary confinement unit of an Idaho prison. This request follows alleged threats of sexual assault from other prisoners.

On July 30, Kohberger filed a complaint reporting that fellow inmates were deliberately causing floods in their cells while verbally threatening him continually, documents reveal. In a follow-up on August 4, Kohberger mentioned that one inmate had threatened him sexually, stating, “I’ll butt f— you,” while another inmate made a similarly offensive comment.

In a separate complaint dated July 31, Kohberger expressed dissatisfaction with the prison food, claiming that he hasn’t received all the items meant to be on his tray.

“… the nutritional standard is not being upheld unless I receive my full tray,” Kohberger says on the “grievance” form.

Bryan Kohberger’s solitary life behind bars

Kohberger admitted to killing University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin on November 13, 2022, at an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. According to authorities, Kohberger, a criminology student at Washington State University, carefully orchestrated the crime months ahead.

He received multiple life sentences under a plea deal that removed the possibility of the death penalty. Since the end of July, he has been housed in long-term restrictive housing in the J-Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.

J-Block inmates occupy single-person cells and get one hour of outdoor recreation daily. They are moved in restraints and are only allowed to shower every other day. 

Several media outlets previously reported Kohberger was the focus of coordinated harassment in his maximum-security wing, with inmates constantly yelling through vents to keep him awake at all hours.

Prison is no picnic, ex-FBI agent says

Over the weekend, law and justice contributor Jennifer Coffindaffer, a former FBI special agent, offered some context amid allegations that Kohberger is being systematically harassed by fellow inmates. In setting their sights on the high-profile Kohberger, she said, the hardened inmates of J-Block are likely trying “to make a name for themselves.”

“He’s in prison now, and there are four people that he brutally murdered,” Coffindaffer told “ Prime.”

She noted that leaked jail video purporting to show Kohberger in his new prison cell does not reflect harsh conditions.

“That’s bigger than most New York hotel rooms,” Coffindaffer said.

Officials with the Idaho Department of Corrections say they’re investigating whether the footage is genuine and how it became public.

Kohberger handwriting shows ‘felon’s claw,’ ‘incel’ anger: Author

What does forensic handwriting analyst Bart Baggett see in Bryan Kohberger’s handwriting, based on the complaints the prisoner scrawled recently behind bars?

For starters, Kohberger has what’s known as “felon’s claw,” an expression of anger or hatred as he scrawls lowercase Ds, Baggett told “Banfield” on Wednesday.

“He reminds me of what they call an incel … just some guy in his basement, mad at the world, mad at women,” the author said. “That’s his personality. He just never grew up.”

Baggett was also asked to compare Kohberger’s July 1 signature on his guilty plea with the nearly illegible one in the recent prison complaints.

“He’s just devolving,” Baggett said.
