Bryan Kohberger is now housed at one of the toughest prisons in the nation, where he’s currently serving time in solitary confinement for the quadruple murders of four Idaho students.

On July 23, District Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Kohberger to four consecutive life sentences for the November 2022 murders of University of Idaho student, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves.

He also received a 10-year sentence for burglary, following a plea deal that took the death penalty off the table.

According to FOX News Digital, Kohberger has been transferred to the J Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, which is around nine miles south of Boise.

He will reportedly stay confined in a single-person cell and allowed one hour per day for outside recreation. He’ll be transferred while wearing shackles and allowed a show every few days.

The Idaho Statesmen reports that IMSI is known for its harsh conditions, with a reputation for holding inmates in solitary confinement for nearly 24 hours a day.

Reports have also indicated that inmates have limited medical care, unclean water, unsanitary conditions, and a high turnover rate, leading to ongoing under-staffing. The prison also houses death row inmates and is equipped with armed guard towers, razor wiring and double perimeter fencing.

The Independent reports that in 2024, the Security Journal Americas listed IMSI as one of the nation’s worst prisons, with clogged vents, feces-covered walls, biohazard-level HVAC problems, and moldy showers.

The prison housed notorious spree killer Paul Ezra Rhoades, who died by lethal injection in 2011, for the deaths of three women. The prison also houses Chad Daybell, who was convicted of killing his two stepchildren and his former wife.

Retired NYPD inspector and FOX News contributor Paul Mauro said that although Kohberger is currently in solitary confinement, it’s possible that he will eventually move to general population.

“In the general population, he is vulnerable, and he’s notorious — and in prison, especially for lifers, your reputation as being dangerous and just your reputation in general is the currency,” Mauro said.

“So there could be somebody looking to do him. On the other hand, we do want to remember Idaho is a death penalty state, and if you’re in for life, and you kill somebody, well, that’s going to get you to death penalty.”

Meanwhile, the Happy Face serial killer, Keith Jespersen, who is serving a life sentence in Oregon for killing multiple women, reportedly wants Kohberger as a cellmate for security purposes.

“His best hope is to be transfered (sic) to here, the max prison in Oregon to be away from those who want to make a name for themselves by killing him,” Jespersen wrote in a letter to former prison minister and podcaster, Keith Rovere, who then showed the note to FOX News Digital.

“This prison gets inmates from other states in order to protect them from the drama.”

There has been no indication that officials plan to transfer Kohberger out of state.
