The Prisoner concerns the eternal story of man's inhumanity to man, and the irony that anyone can be turned by circumstances from an ordinary, caring human being into a depraved monster capable of inflicting torture on others without flinching, simply for the sake of an idea. I wrote it because of the everyday headlines informing us of such atrocities and because close friends who dared to express opinions with their God-given freedom suffered at the hands of others. I wrote it because familiarity has hardened us and we no longer see it happening. We need to reset our values.
