The Hierarchy of Imprisonment was inspired by Philip G. Zimbado's Stanford Prison Experiment which is a classic example of the Lucifer Effect. 

What makes good people do bad things?

In this piece I have looked at this question and all of the different ways in which to approach it. 

Where is the line between good and evil? 

How easy is it to be influenced by evil? 

Through this piece I have explored, within myself and others, the ways in which the people and the world around us can influence us in ways that are out of our control.
