    I don’t think anyone has been able to recreate his experiment. He’s accused of manipulating it to fit his narrative. He denies these accusations, of course.

      One of the biggest reasons I don’t trust that experiment is just knowing that the USA has a prison industrial complex, and doesn’t run prisons particularly well, which does lead to abuse, but pretty much never the kinds of situations the experiment reported.

      You would expect this experiment to be reaffirmed at least occasionally in the real world, outside of extreme cases like Abu Ghraib.
