…One he witnessed handling the solitude better than most was Kaczynski, who didn’t speak to him for months.
‘He was able to handle the Supermax almost to a point of surprising the staff,’ said Hood. ‘He beat the system in one sense because it never seemed like it ever got to him.
‘He would always have books and in various languages, I think it was six or seven different languages he knew.’
Met with Kaczynski’s initial silence, Hood decided to employ similar tactics to those of the TV detective Columbo.
‘I said, “Kaczynski, over the weekend, I was reading some stuff,” and again very distant, he said, “That’s good, what was it?” I said, “The manifesto that you wrote.” And that’s the first time, after like six months or seven months, that he finally really connected with me. I could tell that I hit a nerve.
‘He goes, “You read my manifesto?” I just simply said, “I read it,” and then I played the Columbo guy. I said, “You know what, Kaczynski, it’s almost like Shelley, the lady that wrote Frankenstein. That was almost like the manifesto, where there’s a monster but it’s technology. Technology could be for the good. In this case, you’re seeing the negative part of the technology.”‘

Brief, mildly interesting glimpse into their dismal lives. Kaczynski was an exception to the rule because he was very intelligent and had been manipulated/ programmed by MKULTRA. He was not a born criminal or someone who turned to crime due to social and biological deprivations. ABN
