Overview

• Handwritten notes dated July 30 and August 4 claim “minute-by-minute” verbal abuse and crude rape threats within days of his arrival at Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
• An incident report says a guard recalled vulgar language directed at Kohberger but could not identify an aggressor, and officials noted he “feels safe” to remain on Tier 2.
• Kohberger asked to move from J-Block to B-Block; staff told him J-Block is generally calm and advised him to give it time, and no transfer was granted.
• Reports describe stricter conditions than county jail, including limited showers, one hour of outdoor time, non-contact visits, and continued taunting through cell vents.
• Separately, more than 550 pages of newly released police files detail prior Washington State University warnings about his behavior and note reports of possible face and hand prints at the crime scene with no confirmed attribution.
