[00:00:00]In 1971, Stanford University created a fake prison in their basement. They randomly picked college students [music] to be guards or prisoners. It was supposed to last two weeks. It lasted six days. Within hours, the guards began humiliating prisoners, making them do push-ups, stripping them naked, locking them in closets. The prisoners started having mental breakdowns. One began screaming uncontrollably. These weren't criminals. They were normal psychology students. The experiment had to be shut down when researchers realized they'd created actual psychological torture.
