Killer Bryan Kohberger has no trouble admitting to violently killing four people with a knife in a sneak attack in the middle of the night, but after just one night in J-Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Prison, he is begging to be transferred out.
He submits a handwritten note telling the deputy warden he is being subjected to minute-by-minute verbal threats and harassment and asks to be transferred out of Unit 2 on J-Block because he says, "J-Block is an environment I wish to transfer from."
In his first note of complaint and begging, Kohberger violates a cardinal rule of prison: never rat out your fellow prisoners. Kohberger writes he is "not engaging in any of the recent flooding/striking...."
"Flooding" in prison jargon refers to inmates intentionally causing water to overflow in their cells, creating a disruption on the block, and by saying he isn't taking part, he is pointing his bony finger of righteous indignation at others on J-Block.
After sending his first note of complaint after his first night in prison, Kohberger follows it up a few days later with another note, this one given to a guard and claiming he is the victim of sexual harassment.
In the note, Kohberger claims one inmate is threatening to rape him, while another inmate says, "The only ass we'll be eating is Kohberger's." Kohberger offers up the name of a guard he says heard the threats and harassment, so his claims can be verified.
An incident notification report is filled out by the guard who received the second Kohberger note, and the guard named by Kohberger is questioned about the claims made by the admitted quadruple murderer.
In a report filed three days later, the guard says he recalls vulgar language being used and directed towards Kohberger, but he doesn't know which inmates made the threats.
In his note, Kohberger tells the deputy warden that he wants to be transferred to B-Block immediately. Immediately.
Kohberger also wants to speak to the deputy warden soon. In response, Kohberger is told J-Block is "generally a fairly calm and quieter tier," and the flooding is a relatively rare occurrence.
"He isn't given his transfer and is told "to give it some time."
