Chris Watts is reportedly back on suicide watch in prison following his shocking jailhouse confession about killing his wife, two daughters, and unborn son.
A source at the Wisconsin Department of Corrections told Radar that Watts is on 'clinical observation', which is also known as 'suicide watch'.
The source said that guards must check on Watts every 15 minutes, and that the checks are all recorded.
Watts, 33, told FBI agents last month that other inmates at the prison had been screaming at him to commit suicide.
'All the inmates would yell at him at night and would explain to him all the ways he could kill himself in his cell,' said one official who interviewed Watts.

This is the second time that Watts has been placed on suicide watch after prison officials feared he might take his own life.
Watts, who was sentenced to life in prison in November, was transferred to Wisconsin last year from Colorado following security threats.
News of the suicide watch comes just days after Watts' shocking jailhouse confession was obtained by DailyMail.com.
The killer father told investigators last month that he strangled his pregnant wife Shanann when she confronted him about his affair with mistress Nichol Kessinger.
He also revealed that he had sex with his wife just hours before murdering her after she returned home from a work trip in Arizona.
Watts now regrets his actions, and at one point comments on how things could have been, stating: 'Right now I'd have a five-year-old...a three-year-old...and more than likely, a one-month old son...and a beautiful wife...and right now it's just me.'
Surveillance video captured by his neighbor actually shows Watts appearing to walk one of his young daughters to the car that morning, just before he ended her life.
Watts spoke about what happened on the night his wife and daughters were killed in a prion interview last month (above just months before the murders)

Shanann believed that Watts was having an affair long before that day, but it had been confirmed by a recent credit card charge (Watts and his mistress Nichol Kessinger in July)
Watts said Shanann told him he would never 'see the kids again' after he told her about the affair.
She then said: 'Get off me...don't hurt the baby'.
At the time Watts was straddling her body, and she believed he had wanted to have sex again at first.
Right now I'd have a 5-year-old...a 3-year-old...and more than likely, a one-month old son...and a beautiful wife...and right now it's just me.

'Every time I think about it, I'm just like, did I know I was going to do that before I got on top of her?' Watts told investigators.
'Everything that happened that morning I just don't - I don't know. I try to go back in my head. I didn't want to do this, but I did it...it just felt like there was already something in my mind that was implanted that I was gonna do it and when I woke up that morning, it was gonna happen and I had no control over it.'
He then read a Bible verse when Shanann had stopped breathing, saying: 'Forgive these people for they do not know what they do.'
