I know corrections from both a theoretical and practical perspective. I've yet to see any new correctional officer "crack" and become a sadist within a week. I've seen officers leave after getting assaulted or quit because they couldn't handle the work. I've seen officers who've been on the job for ten years who I've never seen lose their temper. I don't agree with Zimbardo's implication that the environment is so coercive or inhumane that maladaptation is destiny.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-8703496313541769942007-05-05T21:51:00.000-04:002007-05-05T21:51:00.000-04:00(Is it okay if I run with it a little more?)If you...(Is it okay if I run with it a little more?)<BR/><BR/>If you decide to make a post or discuss this in a podcast will you also answer these questions?:<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes excersise?

I hadn't seen (or heard) that particular interview but I've certainly heard of the Stanford Prisoner Experiment.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, at this point the name Zimbardo sets my teeth on edge. It bothers me that a 35 year old study with only 24 participants, that lasted less than a week, can continue to have such influence when it means absolutely nothing. I could rant about this on a podcast (maybe I will) but basically the Zimbardo experiment bears no resemblance to the correctional world that I've worked in for over ten years. The fact that Zimbardo refers repeatedly to correctional officers as "guards" in the interview you linked to tells me that he knows little about working in a correctional environment.<BR/><BR/>The Stanford experiment was a contrived environment in which participants behaved in stereotypical ways based on correctional stereotypes. It was not a real correctional environment. Actual studies on real inmates have not proven detrimental effects on medical or psychological health from incarceration. The <A HREF="http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/rsrch/reports/r10/r10e_e.pdf" REL="nofollow">Canadians</A> have probably done some of the best research on this, specifically <A HREF="http://www.springerlink.com/content/g0v34lm283743u36/" REL="nofollow">Bonta and Gendreau</A> and Wormith. See also the CSC study on the <A HREF="http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/rsrch/reports/r85/r85_e.shtml" REL="nofollow">effects of segregation</A>.<BR/><BR/>OK, this comment has gotten too long. I really must turn it into a blog post or else make Roy and Dinah listen to me rant during our next podcast taping.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-40565804639078491712007-05-05T13:22:00.000-04:002007-05-05T13:22:00.000-04:00Hello, ClinkShrink.I know that you're up to date o...Hello, ClinkShrink.<BR/><BR/>I know that you're up to date on....well, nearly all media that touches on your area of profession. I didn't know if you'd caught this Fresh Air interview by Terry Gross with Philip Zimbardo who conducted the Stanford Prisoner Experiment. In case the link doesn't work, the name of the interview is "'Lucifer Effect' Asks Why Good People Go Bad". It is the May 1, 2007 show.<BR/><BR/><A>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9940824</A><BR/><BR/>I hope you find it interesting.<BR/><BR/>With respect....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
