Interesting topic for sure,

Reminds me of such experiments as the Milgram experiment and the Stanford Prison experiment.

Both were cases where seemingly normal, "good" people did horrible -- some say "evil" -- things (especially in the Prison experiment) when given the opportunity to.

Many cases throughout history and through experiments where we see when given a sense of immunity to punishment, human beings will on their own, venture across the "line" and commit acts he/she normally wouldn't.

Don't worry, just keep shocking him, I'm a doctor remember?

You run the prison. They are the prisoners. Do whatever you want to maintain control.
