Researcher's intention is to... | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | |
research project |
-The intent to do no harm, however, is not a guarantee that no harm will

1) A Quiet Sunday Morning...
| | | |
--police car swept through the town picking up college students as part
| | | | | | | | | | | |
of a mass arrest for violation of Penal Codes 211, Armed Robbery, and
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Burglary, a 459 PC. (fake arrests/charges)
| | | | |
2) Volunteers
|
--What suspects had done was to answer a local newspaper ad calling
| | | | | | | | | | | |
for volunteers in a study of the psychological effects of prison life.
| | | | | | | | | | |
--simulated prison and then carefully note the effects of this institution
| | | | | | | | | | |
on the behavior of all those within its walls.
| | | | | | | |
,--More than 70 applicants but were left with a sample of 24 college
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
students from the U.S. and Canada who happened to be in the Stanford
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
area and wanted to earn $15/day by participating in a study.
| | | | | | | | | |
--divided into two groups by a flip of the coin. Half were randomly
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
assigned to be guards, the other to be prisoners.
| | | | | | | |
3) A State of Mild Shock...
| | | | |
--Blindfolded and in a state of mild shock over their surprise arrest by
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
the city police, our prisoners were put into a car and driven to the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
"Stanford County Jail" for further processing. The prisoners were then
| | | | | | | | | | |
brought into our jail one at a time and greeted by the warden, who
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
conveyed the seriousness of their offense and their new status as
| | | | | | | | | | |
prisoners.
4) Humiliation
|
--Each prisoner was systematically searched and stripped naked. He was
| | | | | | | | |
then deloused with a spray, to convey our belief that he may have
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
germs or lice | |
5) Enforcing Law
| |
, --The guards were given no specific training on how to be guards.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Instead they were free, within limits, to do whatever they thought was
| | | | | | | | | | | |
necessary to maintain law and order in the prison and to command the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
respect of the prisoners.
| | |
--Warden David Jaffe | |
--began with nine guards and nine prisoners in our jail. Three guards
| | | | | | | | | | | |
worked each of three eight-hour shifts, while three prisoners occupied
| | | | | | | | | |
each of the three barren cells around the clock. The remaining guards
| | | | | | | | | | | |
and prisoners from our sample of 24 were on call in case they were
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
needed. The cells were so small that there was room for only three cots
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
on which the prisoners slept or sat, with room for little else.
| | | | | | | | | | |
6) Asserting Authority
| |
--At 2:30 A.M. the prisoners were rudely awakened from sleep by
| | | | | | | | | | |
blasting whistles for the first of many "counts." The counts served the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
purpose of familiarizing the prisoners with their numbers (counts took
| | | | | | | | | |
place several times each shift and often at night). But more importantly,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
these events provided a regular occasion for the guards to exercise
| | | | | | | | | | |
control over the prisoners.
| | |
7) Asserting Independence
