Summary

Bryan Kohberger has only been in Idaho’s maximum-security prison for two weeks.... and he already hates it. Inmates, many of them in solitary themselves, have launched a nonstop campaign of noise and harassment designed to keep the quadruple murderer from sleeping or even thinking straight. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down how they’re doing it, why prison officials can’t stop it, and what it means for Kohberger’s long road ahead. Plus, retired homicide detective Chris McDonough joins to explain what really happens when the inmate population turns on one of their own.

If you're like me and you want to see him suffer for every single day of his 60-some-odd years

0:37.0

behind bars, well, I may just have some good

0:39.1

news for you. Things are not apparently going very well with his fellow inmates. And as one source

0:44.7

told me, they had a plan for him even before he arrived. And I'm going to get to all of that, the

0:51.9

details, the noise, the frustration, his complaints to the guards.

0:58.1

It turns out that the other inmates don't much care for Brian Coburger and they're not afraid to make it crystal clear to him.

The word is he cannot get a wink of sleep in his solitary cell because the other prisoners have decided to

1:13.4

wage a nonstop 24-hour campaign of intense noise. That noise includes banging and shouting and

1:24.6

taunting him through the air ducts. It's a campaign that is designed to scare the living hell out of Brian Koberger.

1:32.3

And here's the thing.

1:33.9

These aren't inmates mingling in a yard.

1:37.3

These are men who are also in solitary, and yet they're still managing to get the job done.

1:45.0

Something tells me the families of the four University of Idaho students that he slaughtered in cold blood

1:50.3

might just take a tiny bit of satisfaction from this.

1:55.5
