Convicted killer Bryan Kohberger is struggling behind bars, complaining of harassment and threats from fellow inmates.
Kohberger, 30, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering four Idaho students in 2022. Since arriving at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in July, he has filed multiple notes to officials demanding a transfer. In one letter, he described “minute-by-minute verbal threats and harassment” inside J Block.

Days later, he alleged sexual threats, writing that inmates targeted him with vulgar comments. Guards confirmed hearing offensive language but said Kohberger remained safe. Prison sources told reporters inmates take turns shouting through vents to torment him. “They are literally yelling at him day and night. It’s relentless,” said retired homicide detective Chris McDonough.
Despite Kohberger’s complaints, officials dismissed the behavior as typical prison communication. He remains isolated in a single cell under close watch. A leaked video even showed him pacing, cleaning shoes, and arranging belongings inside his cell.
Do you think Kohberger deserves protection—or is this part of prison life?
