This is an interesting angle to further understand the Stanford Prison Experiment.

IwasA Guard in the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment. AMA!

"I felt that Zimbardo had a conclusion and he constructed "an experiment" to demonstrate it. That was my belief at the time and now."

The AMA has a lot of quotes that reinforce Milgram's Obedience To Authority over Zimbardo's Innate Human Evil.

The AMA guy says he engaged in all the prisoner mistreatment out of a sense of duty and respect for the experimental setup.

The inability of the answerer there to see the experiment as being (at least in part) about how the guards responded to the construct is just fascinating.
