IDOC also said it emailed staff on July 23 and 25, reminding them about restrictions on technology and social media.
“Videotaping and publicly sharing security footage is prohibited conduct and we will be reviewing all legal options, including criminal prosecution,” the news release read. “The safety and security of our staff and incarcerated population remain our top priority.”

The videos reportedly started circulating on Thursday, according to the New York Post.
One appears to show Kohberger placing something on top of a caged metal box hanging from the cell wall.
Some users noticed something strange about Kohberger’s appearance.
“Look how red his hands are,” one user wrote.
Rumors allege that Kohberger washes his hands dozens of times a day, which may explain their redness, the New York Post reported.
Another video seems to show Kohberger cleaning his shoes while standing in his cell.

In July, Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, according to CBS News.
He was convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022.
Since he’s been in prison, inmates have reportedly taunted and heckled him endlessly.
“We are aware of Kohberger’s complaints about what he considers taunting,” IDOC told CBS News in a statement.
