What could be some theme statements for the topic of individualism in Shawkshank Redemption?

In the book The Shawshank Redemption Andy struggles to maintain his individualism in a prison community where the effort is made to strip away each person's individuality.  Andy has an education and is very good at accounting.  He uses his talents and skills to continue to be who he was before the prison sentence for a crime he did not commit came about.
