(NewsNation Bryan Kohberger has filed additional complaints about his life in the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.

Kohberger was sent to the maximum security prison after pleading guilty July 2 to fatally stabbing University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin on Nov. 13, 2022, at an off-campus rental property in Moscow, Idaho. 

The convicted killer complained last month that he didn’t receive allocated food, and he said other inmates had threatened to sexually assault him.

TMZ obtained additional Idaho Department of Correction records Monday that show other concerns Kohberger has raised.

In a July 27 resident concern form, Kohberger stated that he was unable to access JPay, a payment system used by inmates to purchase items from the commissary.

On Aug. 13, he wrote another letter noting that he had not received a supply bag four days after his request.

Five days later, he sent a note thanking Sgt. Martin “for the printouts and bubble sheets for commissary,” adding that his issues with JPay were resolved.

In late July, Kohberger began living in long-term restrictive housing in the J-Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.

J-Block inmates occupy single-person cells and get one hour of outdoor recreation daily. They are moved in restraints and are only allowed to shower every other day. 

Despite pleading guilty and being sentenced, Kohberger’s motive for killing the four students remains a mystery,
