Prison Psychology

[Desmo]

I found this link in somebodys sig on another forum...

http://www.prisonexp.org/

It's about an experiment carried out years ago with college students in a purpose built prison, some playing guards and others the inmates. It shows how each of them changed along the way and how they reacted to the situation they found themselves in and how it all became very real to them. It's an interesting read.

I watched a German film recently called Das Experiment which was based on an actual experiment that was done similar to what you describe above.

It is subtitled :p and actually not a bad film.
