What was the Stanford Prison Experiment?
What will be an ideal response?
A 1971 experiment conducted at Stanford University, which utilized volunteer students, divided into officers and inmates in a makeshift prison. In the end, about a third of the “officers” engaged in the abuse of “inmates,” and other officers stood by while it was going on. The experiment was stopped after a few days and is often referenced as an example of how correctional work, and the subcultures that develop as part of the job, can foster corrupt behavior by officers.
