15 ago 1971 ano - Day 1

Descrição:

On a sleepy Sunday morning a mass arrest of college students happened each on the accounts “Penal Codes 211, Armed Robbery, and Burglary, a 459 PC” (Zimbardo). The candidates were taken to the station to be booked, fingerprinted, and read their Miranda Rights before they were blindfolded and taken to “The yard.” A small corridor in a converted basement in the Stanford psychology building is the prison for the experiment. When they got to the Yard, the prisoners were brought in one by one and explained the seriousness of their situation by the warden. After the warden spoke to them they were stripped and searched and decontaminated, after that, the prisoners were then given smocks and pantyhose so that they could feel as if their identity was gone. Each of their ankles was chained and bolted with heavy metal to make sure that they can’t escape. Also to simulate an oppressive environment giving the prisoners continued identity crises. In an interview from an interview Philip Zimbardo did on Democracy Now give footage of a post-interview of Prisoner 455 who talks about his loss of identity, “I began to feel that I was losing my identity, that person [he] calls Clay, the person who put [him] in this place, the person who volunteered to go into this prison because it was a prison to [him]. Zimbardo succeeded in his goal to make sure that each volunteer felt as if they were in a prison.
