Comparison of the Stanford Prison Experiment to the Abu Ghraib Prison Abuse
The Stanford Prison Experiment is often compared to the abuse of prisoners of war by U.S. Army and CIA personnel at the Abu Ghraib prison during the Iraq War. In 2003 and 2004, these personnel committed offenses against prisoners that were documented in photographs, some of which were taken by the abusers themselves. Philip Zimbardo, the lead researcher of the Stanford experiment, has also publicly discussed these parallels, for instance, in an NPR interview.
