RE: Huston We Have A Problem!!!!
I don't think that's what the prison experiment showed us exactly. It was more a proof that people take on their given roles without a second thought.

Well that would imply that the role of A CO in a prison is to abuse humans and their power. I am more of the stance that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Only the truly strong have the ability to see it, call it out, and defend against it. I have not seen ONE whale do so. Not a one.
You are right about that association of a CO's job being to abuse. That's the fucked up thing about it. Their job is to punish. Punishment is not effective when dealing with most people, especially the mentally disturbed. If we had a functional prison system, it would serve the function of promoting stable and functional mental health, not punishment for the sake of punishment.
