The Stanford Prison Experiment

rtennant22 December 8th, 2007

Philip G. Zimbardo’s experiment shows us how having too much authority can change a person.  I am very shocked that an experiment like this was allowed.  I feel that some of the conditions were inhumane and not safe.  I feel that the experiment may have gotten too out of hand.  However, it is interesting to see how a prison’s conditions can dramatically change both a prisoner and a prison guard.  It makes me wonder what happens inside a real prison, and if prisoners become so bad by being inside prison.
