Bryan Kohberger, the man who pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students, has been moved to solitary confinement after being sentenced to life in prison, Us Weekly can confirm.

A spokesperson for the Idaho Department of Correction tells Us that Kohberger, 30, was transferred to “long-term restrictive housing on J Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.”

Local station KTVB reported that Kohberger was moved midday on Tuesday, July 29, less than a week after he was handed four consecutive life sentences during a hearing in Boise, Idaho.

Prisoners in long-term restrictive housing are placed in single-person cells and limited to one hour of outdoor recreation per day. They are restrained while moving around the prison and provided a shower every other day.

Where Is Bryan Kohberger Going to Prison After Idaho College Murders?

Prisoners can attend religious services, have electronic communication with loved ones via JPay and make commissary orders.

J Block can house up to 128 people, including prisoners in long-term restrictive housing, like Kohberger, as well as inmates in general population, protective custody and on death row.

Among the other prisoners in J Block is Chad Daybell, the husband of “Doomsday Mom” Lori Vallow, the subject of Netflix’s true-crime docuseries Sins of Our Mother. In May 2024, Daybell, 56, was found guilty of first-degree murder in relation to the deaths of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and Lori’s children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7. He was sentenced to death a month later.

In early July, Kohberger pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder after striking a plea deal with Idaho prosecutors to avoid the death penalty.

The Washington State University graduate student admitted to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin at an off-campus student house in Moscow, Idaho, in the early hours of November 13, 2022. Goncalves, Mogen and Kernodle lived at the house — which has since been demolished — with fellow students Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke. Chapin was sleeping over with his girlfriend, Kernodle.

On July 23, Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, as well as an additional 10 years for burglary.
