(http://www.prisonexp.org/ btw is their website.)

Don't forget the effects on the "prisoners".

I think it's extremely analogous to the Milgram obedience experiment, and that in some ways that is a more common and more interesting aspect.

by Lord Acton, 1887
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.
