After being sentenced, Bryan Kohberger is set to spend his life in a high-security prison known for its stringent regulations.
Bryan Kohberger received his sentence for the murder of four Idaho college students on July 23, a case that garnered worldwide attention.
The victims, who were found deceased at their residence in Moscow, Idaho in 2022, included Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen.
Last month, the 30-year-old Kohberger shifted his plea from innocent to guilty on all charges. This change was part of an agreement designed to give him a chance to avoid death row.
During the sentencing, he received life imprisonment and faced harsh condemnation from the families of the victims, many of whom read impactful statements against him.
Under the plea agreement, Kohberger forfeits any right to appeal his sentence, nor will he receive any leniency.
The former criminologist, aged 30, was handed four consecutive life sentences plus an additional ten years. He will serve this time at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, which has been dubbed ‘hell on Earth’ by Inside Edition.
Bail bondsman Kevin Corson discussed with Inside Edition the likelihood of Kohberger being targeted upon entering prison.
Corson noted, “Bryan Kohberger will have a target on his back as he is accused of murdering women which is frowned upon in the prison system.”
The conditions Kohberger will face in prison were also highlighted in the report.
The convicted murderer will be kept in solitary confinement, expected to remain in his cell for 23 hours daily, with meals provided through a small door slot.
It remains uncertain if Kohberger will be permitted visitors, but if allowed, such visits would occur remotely from within the prison.
Brian Entin of Newsnation recently visited the prison, offering his observations on its conditions.
He described, “It is sterile, it feels very maximum security, they send everything through a little opening in the door, food etc.
“You really are just by yourself.”
There is a possibility Kohberger might be permitted to purchase a tablet, laptop, or TV for use in his cell, according to Inside Edition.
The Idaho Department of Correction has shared some information regarding the forthcoming procedures for Kohberger.
A spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Once in IDOC custody, the person goes through a Reception and Diagnostic Unit (RDU) process to evaluate their needs and determine appropriate housing placement; this process takes 7-14 days.
“We wait until a person completes RDU to determine their classification, housing placement, and privileges.”
