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".
