The Stanford Prison Experiment was a Psychological experiment conducted by Phillip Zimbardo at Stanford University in 1971.

Participants were recruited from the local community with an advert in newspapers offering $15 per day to male students who wanted to participate in a "psychological study of prison life."

Volunteers were randomly assigned to being prisoners or prison guards.

Within a few days the experiment devolved into a horrific chaos and as such needed to be finished early.

The experiment is widely regarded as one of the most unethical experiments in history and even potentially fake.
