    Zimbardo, a young Stanford psychology professor, built a mock jail in the basement of Jordan Hall and stocked it with nine “prisoners,” and nine “guards,” all male, college-age respondents to a newspaper ad who were assigned their roles at random and paid a generous daily wage to participate. The senior prison “staff” consisted of Zimbardo himself and a handful of his students.

    Good read. Seems the "experiment" was always more about Zimbardo's career than psychology. Just look at where prison reform has gotten us, explosive growth of kinder, gentler more profitable prisons and incarceration rates than any species this side of the galaxy.
