Unabomber Ted Kaczynski's Life and Death in Prison.

Theodore Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, died in prison at the age of 81. His own writings and brother suggest that his tilt toward violence started while studying at the University of Michigan. Kaczynski's dissatisfaction with his professors, what he considered low academic standards, and his experience in an Ann Arbor "rooming house" led him to become "convinced his landlord had turned others against him," and disdained others and showed "little willingness to communicate with peers." Kaczynski became homicidal and decided he would spend his life killing.
