Psycho killer Bryan Kohberger, now known as inmate number 163214, is settling into life inside Idaho's only maximum-security prison, but inside sources say the transition hasn't been a smooth one.
The quadruple murderer has been constantly tormented by his fellow inmates, who are shouting through the vents into his cell 24/7. Kohberger is reportedly so bothered that he has complained to prison guards about being kept up at night by the other inmates.
"Its driving him crazy. The inmates are tormenting him at night and almost all hours of the day - taunting him through the vents in his cell," Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective, said. "They are literally getting up into the grate and yelling at him. The inmates are taking turns doing it. Its relentless.". Twisted monster Kohberger pleaded guilty to the horrifying crimes in a desperate plea to avoid the death penalty, before cowardly refusing to reveal his motive.
McDonough, who now works for the Cold Case Foundation, said prison life has made Kohberger "extremely annoyed and frustrated."

Kohberger was sent to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution after being sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for the November 13, 2022, murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernolde, and Ethan Chapin.

The prison houses the most notorious inmates in the state. Kohberger is being held in solitary confinement in the J Block housing unit, meaning that he is locked inside a cell for 23 hours a day and gets just one hour of recreation time in an area known as "the cage."

During this time, Kohberger can only move around with his restraints and is only allowed to shower every other day. But the limited interaction hasn't stopped inmates from attempting to get under the killer's skin.

"What it tells us is that the inmates are not happy with him and he's just started in the prison system," said McDonough

It's believed that Kohberger's infamy makes him a bigger target for harassment. "Because he is serving four life sentences his threat assessment will be extremely high," said McDonough. "There's some inmates that would want nothing more than to hurt him just to make a name for themselves."

McDonough added that it's unlikely that complaining to the prison staff will make the abuse stop. Since Kohberger is in solitary confinement, he's not in any physical danger. However, he could be moved to general population if prison officials deem it safe to do so.

Since his arrest in December 2022, other inmates have found Kohberger's behavior in prison "weird." One inmate told investigators that Kohberger would spend hours on video calls with his mother while behind bars, according to newly-released Moscow Police records.

The inmate reported that during one of these calls, he had said "you suck" at a sports player while watching TV. The comment left Kohberger shaken, causing him to respond aggressively after thinking the inmate was speaking about him or his mother.

Kohberger "immediately got up and put his face to the bars" and asked if the inmate was talking about Kohberger or his mother, the inmate said.

Other than that incident, Kohberger has been described as "highly intelligent" and "polite" by others in prison. However, some have reported odd behaviors such as washing his hands several times a day, spending "45 minutes to an hour in the shower," and staying awake almost all night."

Since his sentencing, a gag order on the case has been lifted and new details about the murders are now being released. However, a motive for the horrific acts still remains a mystery.

Why is he being singled out in a place that's no doubt full of murderers? Is it just because he's infamous?

Perhaps his fellow inmates will ultimately carry out the death sentence that the prosecution had initially been pushing for, either directly or otherwise.

He thought this was all very amusing business when he was killing those students. Fuck around and find out, I guess.

He has weird behaviors, particular infamy, seems cowardly, and his reasons for murder are atypical.

He's the murderer version of a nerd in a world of jocks.

I thought that was an odd statement as well. I go to the bathroom several times a day and of course I'm gonna wash my hands each time.

Maybe they mean he just randomly washes them, but they should have specified. Even then it wouldn't be strange considering the amount of things touched throughout the day.

There are definitely tiers of "prison justice," so to speak, where certain kinds of murder are deemed more "acceptable."

Killing kids is definitely going to put you at the bottom. Serial killers, serial sexual assaulters, etc. will also be near the bottom.

In a normal society, killing is killing. In prison, they have "ethics" like "Hey, Jim only killed somebody in a crime of passion. You killed 4 people just because you wanted to."

most people in prison for life probably don't give a shit about washing their hands after using the bathroom

99% of inmates have families and people they care about.

A random goof who butchered some college kids is going in there with a giant target on his back.

The only people who seem to be be fascinated by these type of murderers are fans of dateline and shows like that.

Now I'm curious how the ventilation system works. How many vents are in his cell and where do they lead to?

The supply duct would be have common branch that would feed several cells that each have their own vent. Yelling into one would be heard in all of the cells fed off that branch. Most the other guys are probably used to the noise or have made makeshift vent covers.

The real impressive feat is how inmates manage to move contraband and notes through the toilets from cell to cell. Its gross as hell but thats some determined effort to make that happen.

Being fascinated doesn't mean someone likes what the killer did. Its more that they want to understand why the fuck they did what they did. We will probably never know why this guy killed 4 college kids. I doubt he's ever going to tell anyone. But people can't help but wonder

You're not exactly entitled to comfort after killing 4 random people.

Not revealing his motive might be the sticker here, a bunch of killers in prison but most of them either deny doing it or are upfront about why they did it. Pleading guilty but not saying why is easily the most bitch move you can pull.
