Would you rather be a guard, or a prisoner?
I don't think I have the qualities to be a guard?
Prisoner.
Prisoner, I guess...
Prisoner sounds like it would be a little less work.
Prisoner.
Why is that?
Nobody likes guards.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
This experiment
will be an extension
of my research into the effects prisons can have
on human behavior.
You're gonna be pleased to know that you all
have been chosen to be the prison GUARDS.
But under no circumstances whatsoever
are you to physically assault the prisoners in anyway.
So remember
just as you are watching the prisoners
my graduate staff and I
will be watching you.
Alright, gentlemen!
We're gonna have ourselves a lot of fun!
Rule Number One!
Prisoners must remain silent!
This is an exercise period!
Okay, is it just me, or are these guys taking this thing a bit too seriously?
Why don't you give me twenty push-ups?
Look at this guy...
Thinks he's John Wayne or something.
You address me...as Mr Correctional Officer.
This might be an interesting two weeks after all.
Why don't you make up your bunk, 8612?
I did.
Mr Correctional Officer.
Well that's not what I see.
Hey what're you doing?! I just made that!!
What was that?
You just hit him!
You're not supposed to hit him!
Put him the hole!
- Should we step in?
No, let the guards figure it out.
Let's see where it goes.
Good evening, gentlemen! How about we make this one a night to remember?
This is all real!
They won't let you go!
They won't let us leave!
Those are not prisoners!
Those are not subjects!
Those are boys and you are harming them!
Please! Please! Please! Let me out of here!
I want out!
I want out now!
You thought you were gonna get some playtime in the yard, boy?!
Is this what you thought this was gonna be?!
I had no idea it would turn out this way...
