SALT LAKE CITY, Ut. (Crime Library) — Craig Roger Gregerson has spent his life as a loner, with few friends in childhood and eking out a mole-like existence as an adult.
Now he's finding that same standard on medium-security cell block B at the Salt Lake County Jail.

For 23 hours a day, Utah's most notorious accused child killer is confined to a single occupancy cell with little more to do than read and write letters. Then, for an hour, Gregerson is also alone as he's allowed outside his cell to use the telephone, shower and exercise in the recreation yard.
According to Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Trisha Hughes, the solitary environment is "for the safety of staff members and/or prisoners."
Gregerson, 20, is in protective custody because of the nature of the crime he has been charged with: the kidnapping and murder of Destiny Norton, 5, from her yard on July 16.

According to Sheriff's Office records, Gregerson's inmate neighbors include Floyd Maestas, who is accused of murdering a 75-year-old woman during a home invasion robbery by jumping on her chest so hard that he ruptured her aorta; and Philip Guymon, accused of murdering a 2-year-old boy by throwing him 9 feet across a room.
Gregerson's new home is roughly 70 square feet with a stainless steel sink, table with an attached chair, a box to store personal items and a bunk with a white cotton blanket.
