Kaczynski, 81, was handed four life sentences plus 30 years for his one-man campaign of terror that left three people dead and 23 others injured – including several who were permanently maimed. A breakthrough came when Kaczynski released a rambling, 35,000-word manifesto entitled ‘Industrial Society and Its Future’ that was published in the media in September 1995.
After rejecting his lawyers' attempts to have him plead insanity, Kaczynski admitted carrying out 16 bombings between 1978 and 1995.The shed he used as a base for his one-man campaign of terror ‘He wasn't exactly gregarious, but he was extremely articulate,’ Dale Eickelman, Kaczynski's friend in his early high school years, told the Daily Southtown newspaper in Chicago after Kaczynski's arrest.
