Thank you for sharing Sana. “Fixing Hell” sounds grim but very interesting. I guess just the very title of the book suggests it. I like things that involve psychological experiments and their application in real life.

“Fixing hell” is more like a documentary, it’s a book written by US Colonel, army psychologist, PhD L. James about his deployment in Iraq. He was sent there to fix atrocities happening in most infamous military prison in Iraq, Abu Ghraib. Prisoners there were tortured by the US soldiers, and L.James was trying to understand why it was happening. Thus, he did seek help from Dr. Zimbardo. I am not sure if this is something you would be interested to read, but I liked it.

Hi Sana, thank you very much for sharing! Welcome to the club – we already have a group of people here with the list of “broken windows” that need fixing.

I have read about Dr. Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment, so powerful but so controversial – it kind of left me with mixed feelings. I didn’t learn about it from the “Fixing Hell” though. If you recommend this book I will add it to my list of books to look into. Thanks again!

Interesting person Dr. Philip Zimbardo, and his experiments are bold. His most famous experiment was Stanford Prison Experiment. It was conducted to see the psychological reaction of humans to captivity (prisoners), and given powers (guards). Stanford students were given assigned roles of prisoners or guards, and were set in prison like environment. Results were quiet interesting. If you haven’t heard of this experiment, I suggest you read about it, I think you would like it ( you can even find it on YouTube). The experiment was mentioned in the book I read a couple of years ago, “Fixing Hell,” that is how I heard of it.
