There were a few powerful leaders within each group and surprisingly some of those members were not challenged. Who were these leaders and how did group think contribute to why other members of the group were unwilling to challenge group leaders? How do you think you would have acted as a prisoner in this experiment? As a guard? Zimbardo was one of the first to try to mimic prison conditions in an academic experiment. He has since stated that current prisons have not improved, but gotten more punitive and destructive. Armed with this knowledge, have your opinions changed concerning the prison system? If so, how? If prisons aren't rehabilitating, how can sociologists help change the system with their knowledge of roles and role theory?
