Could Kohberger Ever Be Safe in General Population?
Solitary confinement can be a temporary measure — or a permanent sentence within a sentence. For Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students, the decision to keep him in protective isolation or move him into general population could mean the difference between survival and a quick, violent end.
In this Hidden Killers segment, Tony Brueski talks with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis about how long solitary can last, who makes that decision, and the prison politics driving it. Eric explains why crimes like Kohberger’s — especially those involving young female victims — carry a permanent target inside prison, and how some inmates see taking out a high-profile prisoner as a path to infamy, respect, or revenge.
We examine survival strategies in this environment, from gang alliances to exploiting mental health vulnerabilities, and why certain “outs” — like transfers or mental health unit placement — can actually increase the danger. The conversation also touches on the limits of legal intervention once a case is closed, and the bigger question: what does it say about our system that inmate safety decisions are made almost entirely behind closed doors?
