THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT

Date: 12/19/2007 1:37:29 PM

I like to send out the URL to the Stanford Prison Experiment from
time to time, because we have a constant flow of "new folks" entering
the prison reform/human rights arena. I think it's very important
for everyone to see this slideshow, which documents what happens to
the characters of both the incarcerated and the incarcerators within
a prison setting.

If you have never viewed the account of this remarkable experiment,
it will amaze you. It's at

http://www.prisonexp.org/

It's also worth a re-viewing, by those who have already seen it. It
now contains a section, documenting the parallels between the
Stanford Prison Experiment and the events at Abu Ghraib.

The Stanford Prison Experiment is one of the most astonishing
psychological studies of all time!

Peace and Blessings,
