(NewsNation) — As Bryan Kohberger awaits sentencing Wednesday for the fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students in 2022, his life could become even more solitary.

NewsNation spoke with Kevin Corson, the owner of Idaho Bonding Company, regarding the treatment Bryan Kohberger may face should he be sent to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, the state’s only maximum security prison.

According to Corson, it houses the most dangerous criminals in Idaho, and Kohberger should expect an extremely restricted lifestyle.

“Life is going to be a little more harsh than what it was in the Ada County Jail when he was there,” Corson said.

“He’s going to have to be segregated; as you may know, people in prison don’t like people who hurt women or children, and he’s hurt women.

“And that’s not something that the inmates there take lightly. It’s something that is definitely going to put a target on his back.”

Should Kohberger be sent to the supermax prison, he could end up in long-term, restricted housing and what’s known as closed and protective custody. This type of housing is meant for prisoners who could be hurt by inmates in general population, or who could hurt others.

Those inmates spend 23 hours a day inside their cells, with food and water fed through doors into their cells.
