Stanford Study

The stanford study was done in the summer of 1991. In the basment of stanford they converted 4 or 5 rooms into prsion cells. Then took about 20 collage students, all emotional stable and healthy. They then chose half of them to be guards, and the other half prisoners. All of the prisoners were gave numbers instead of names. All of the guards got a nice uniform, billy club and a pair of mirrord sunglasses. The guards could not hurt the prisoners, but they could cause fear and distress in them. All the the prisoners got actuly arrested and then were brought to the fake jail. Then stripped down and gave a humiliating clothes to were. The prisoners thought they were being treatd wrong. So some barracated them selves in there cells, and ripped there numbers off. The guards retaliated by shooting a fire exstighusher to get them out. That did not work, and the prisoner got pissed. The guards then strpped the prissoner naked, and thru him in the hole. At this time some of the prisoners and freaking out. After that the prisoners start to obey more. But the guards just keep getting nasty and more abusive. After the 5th day 2 people had to leave. For a emotional break downs. Then the whole study had to be shut down on the 6th day. Becasue the the whole thing was really getting out of hand. The gaurds started to get really abusive. If they didn't feel like they had  "power". Some say the whole experiment was tooken way to far.
