The Unabomber's life in prison
The Smoking
Gun has a fascinating story about the Unabomber's time in prison.
They have a ton of letters he has written, mostly complaints, about
small problems in jail. The first one I read is his complaints about
the mail system they have there.
Here is a man who terrorized and killed people by the mail and he is
complaining about the way they handle outgoing mail.
Some other highlights is his complaining about being shortchanged a
1/2 pint of milk,
his fitness report,
and loud neighbors.
I especially liked how the missing 1/2 pint of milk turned into a 3
page correspondence.
He also receives love letters
from women. I will never understand people who send letters to serial
killers or anyone in prison for a high profile crime. What kind of guys
are they meeting that they think to themselves, "Hmmm John is a
nice guy but that Charlie Manson...WOW".
