Bryan Kohberger, the convicted murderer of four University of Idaho students, has been in prison for three months, and things are not going well. The 30-year-old former Ph.D. student in criminology is asking to be moved to another housing wing, filing complaint after complaint that he has been harassed and threatened by other inmates in the Idaho Maximum Security Institution. Kohberger has repeatedly asked prison officials to move him from J Block, a high-profile and high-risk wing, to B Block, a more serene part of the prison.

Handwritten notes Kohberger gave prison officials, first obtained by People, show the convicted murderer has been subjected to “minute-by-minute” verbal harassment since arriving in J Block. “I am in fear of the threat of sexual assault from the occupants here on my tier,” Kohberger wrote in the notes. “I hear voices saying, ‘I’ll b— f— you,’ multiple times a day, another prisoner told me, ‘The only a– we’ll be eating is Kohberger’s.” Kohberger claimed he had been experiencing the threats “since day two of being housed here” and they have continued “hour by hour.”

Correctional officers said they had heard the “n-word” being yelled at Kohberger multiple times a day and could not recall other specific remarks. Kohberger wrote in one of the notes, “I am in this form of Ad-Seg” and he wanted to “stay in this form of Ad-Seg only” and asked to be transferred to another form of protective administrative segregation from J Block to a safer place. “Tier 2 of J Block is an environment that I wish to transfer from if possible,” he continued. “I request transfer to B Block immediately. I wish to speak with you soon.”

In his request to move to a different wing, the convicted killer added he has not participated in disciplinary incidents like “flooding” or “striking.” Flooding and striking are prison terms for behavior ranging from deliberate flooding of sinks or toilets, failing to work, fighting, or being disobedient or disruptive. Kohberger added he had not been flooding or striking and should be moved. As of Wednesday, the prison’s housing records still show Kohberger in J Block. The Idaho Department of Correction has not said whether he would be moved.

It has not been easy for Kohberger since he went to prison. In county jail, fellow inmates reportedly mocked Kohberger. During one phone call with his mother, a video showed another inmate yelling at Kohberger, “you suck.” Another said, “He’s just a f—ing weirdo.” He added, “I probably would have decked him, but I’m here.” Other testimony depicted him as a “nerdy kid” who was socially awkward. An updated pre-sentence investigation by the court said he had “poor social awareness and an intense, sometimes piercing stare.”

Prison consultant Marc Joseph told Newsweek, “The profile that he’s been painted with I think he’s got a target on his back from Day 1.” That’s not unusual for a high-profile criminal like Kohberger. Joseph added, “In particular for people that do these high-profile offenses, other inmates may try to intimidate them or show a power position over them.” In Kohberger’s case, he’s even more of a target because of his behavior. Bryan Kohberger has also reportedly “lost weight” in the last two and a half years since he first entered prison.

The Idaho Maximum Security Institution in the state’s northern panhandle is home to some of the state’s most notorious criminals, including a man just placed on death row, Chad Daybell. It has not been easy for Kohberger to adjust to this life. Kohberger’s “situation is a little bit reminiscent of Jeffrey Dahmer,” Joseph told Newsweek. The serial killer, who killed and cannibalized at least 17 young men and boys, faced years of taunts and harassment from other inmates and was eventually beaten to death by a fellow inmate in 1994. Joseph said Kohberger might have the same fate if his problems are not remedied.

For now, Kohberger remains on J Block, though the prison has moved him to be under closer supervision. He has not yet been granted his request to be moved to a new wing of the prison, and the Idaho Department of Corrections has declined to comment on whether it would do so. The documents obtained by People, however, show the details of an inmate who has had a target on his back and is under constant verbal attack from others who remember both his personality and his crimes. If he is not moved to a new part of the prison, he could face a very long and possibly very dangerous stay in the maximum security wing.
