The Stanford Prison Experiment Page #2

Hi.

Why don't you

pull up a chair?

What?

Why me?

Just do it.

All right.

Put your arms

above your head.

F***.

Wow.

Hey, Phil,

um,

I don't mean to be rude,

but what qualifies him

to be here?

Well, he's got experience.

You're kidding, right?

Okay, boys,

let's take her down there

and show her

just how pretty she looks.

All right, listen up.

From now on, you will be known

as Prisoner 8612

and only as 8612.

And you will,

at all times,

refer to us

as Mr. Correctional Officer.

You got it?

Uh, yeah,

I got it.

What was that?

I mean, yes, sir,

Mr. Correctional Officer, sir.

Yeah, good.

All right,

um,

let's take her down

to cell number two.

All right.

Let's get the next one.

Hey.

What are you doing in here?

You're missing everything.

What?

You brought me here

to legitimize this experiment,

and there's nothing legitimate

about this place, Phil.

You're right.

You're right.

I didn't explain it well.

Prisons, they represent...

a loss of freedom,

literally

and symbolically.

Yeah, but that does not explain

why they're wearing dresses.

They're wearing dresses,

Phil.

Yes, I understand.

Uh...

We're trying to strip away

their individuality...

Make them uniform,

feminize them.

Feminize them?

Yes.

Feminize them.

Take away all the things

that make them them.

You see, we're trying

to understand

how an institution

affects an individual's

behavior.

We're trying to do something...

We're trying to do

something good.

Hey, man.

I'm Daniel.

Uh, that's Jeff.

Hey.

I'm... I'm Peter.

Well, nice to meet you,

comrade.

What are you in for?

Uh...

they said something

about burglary,

but, uh,

I mean, I didn't really

do anything.

Sure, sure.

Joint's overflowing

with innocent men.

We've been framed...

framed, I tell ya!

I'm just messing with you.

You can sit down, you know.

Yeah.

Are you aware we're

supposed to be quiet?

Yeah, you are aware

they can't lay a finger on us.

It's in the contract.

We can do whatever we want.

I'm just saying I think

it'll go a whole lot smoother

if we do what we're told.

Okay!

Time for lineup!

Prisoners are part of

a correctional community.

In order to keep the community

running smoothly,

prisoners must obey

the following rules.

Rule number one:

prisoners must remain silent

during rest periods,

after lights out,

during meals,

and outside the prison yards.

Rule number two:

prisoners must eat at meal times

and only at meal times.

Rule number three:

prisoners must participate

in all prison activities.

Rule number four:

prisoners must address

the guards

as Mr. Correctional Officer

and the warden as Mr. Chief

Correctional Officer.
