    From McVeigh's wiki page:

    At USP Florence ADMAX, McVeigh and Nichols were housed in what was known as "bomber's row". Ted Kaczynski, Luis Felipe, and Ramzi Yousef were also housed in this cell block. Yousef made frequent, unsuccessful attempts to convert McVeigh to Islam.

      why would you throw every bomber in a row. like what's the point. I'm not gonna act like there#s danger they're gonna build prison bombs but why go through the effort

        It sounds like the strategy was put them together so they'd be unlikely to fight one another or join a gang, or they'd form a gang themselves. Prisons deliberately encourage inmates to join one of several gangs. Maybe at ADX the prisoners are more unstable than general prisoners, so the strategy is put similar types of violent weirdos together. Sounds like it worked.

          Yeah, the california carceral system is notorious for deliberately stocking racial violence and manipulating the formation of prison gangs as part of a divide and conquer strategy. It's pretty dark even by america standards.
