The board reads, "TAKE IT EASY! DON'T GIVE UP!" ... though it's unclear who wrote it down.

Bryan Kohberger looked like he swallowed one too many burgers when he was younger ... because he was a lot beefier back then compared with his much slimmer frame now.

Until then, they'll continue being incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California.
