The '''Pit of Despair''' was the ~~ultimate~~ [[torture]]-device created by the mad scientist known as [[Harry Harlow]] and is considered by many as one of the most cruel devices to be created - it also put Harlow down in history as a monster due to the fact it was largely used by him to relieve personal stress and unhappiness rather than as a valid scientific tool (though it did ultimately serve to improve knowledge on psychology).

The device was a cage that was completely sealed, with no means of escape and only one entrance - Harlow would put baby monkeys into the cage and seal it shut, isolating them for up to a year and observing as the animals went into a panic, then ultimately gave into despair - even the happiest monkey was recorded to huddle in the corner of the cage after a while and became psychotic.
