In his article "The Stanford Prison Experiment", Phillip Zimbardo takes a very startling look at how obedience and authority can transform a person just by giving them a role to play. ... The subjects of this project, only after their "prison time", have realized that obedience and authority have an extreme rule on our lives. ... After booking, these men were led to the Stanford County Prison. ...
This experiment was to study the behavior of prison inmates while they are incarcerated. ... The experiment could not be carried out in a real prison because they are secretive of how things go on inside to avoid criticism. Another reason is that it cannot be known what each person brings to the prison and what the prison turns inmates into.
The Stanford County Prison was located in the basement of the Stanford Universitys psychology building. ... They were told to keep law and order in the prison but had free reign on how to do it. ...
The first day of prison life was very quiet. ...
After this incident, things in the prison began to get extreme. ... They began to forget about the outside world when 90% of their talk was about things in the prison. ...
A day and a half after the volunteers were arrested and thrown into the mock prison, they were forced to release the first inmate due to mental health.
