Reports are that Idaho mass murderer Bryan Kohberger is finding his plea-bargained life sentence a wee bit less than what he hoped for:
Retired homicide detective Chris McDonough told Ashleigh Banfield on NewsNation Wednesday that while Kohberger has been placed in “J Block” for his own protection, his experience has been far from solitary. “The good news is the inmates apparently were waiting for him and when he got there,” he said. “They are now making his life absolutely miserable.” It is not physical but rather mental torment that Kohberger is experiencing. “They’re utilizing the vent system, they’re kicking the doors, they’re taunting him, and they’re basically torturing him through using psychology,” McDonough explained.
And this could go on for life.
How is the death penalty worse? If this gets publicized enough maybe the next mass murderer will be willing to plead guilty only if they are promised the death penalty.
None of this compensates the victim’s family for their horrific loss. But maybe they will feel less bad for what seemed to them an unsatisfying plea deal.

Prisoners also have mothers, wives, girlfriends, and daughters, and in general do not cozy up to mass murderers of young women.

If he's ever without isolation/protection, he'll probably be dead rather quickly.
