Prison experiments

Hey, there’s an official Stanford Prison Experiment website !

And an unofficial re-enactment by the U.S. Army !

The Army investigation found serious problems behind the scenes. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. Frederick said that dogs were “used for intimidation factors.” Part of the Army’s own investigation is a statement from an Iraqi detainee who charges a translator — hired to work at the prison — with raping a male juvenile prisoner: “They covered all the doors with sheets. I heard the screaming. …and the female soldier was taking pictures.”
