Netflix prison experiment show?!

[sweptapostle]

Sounds like a fallout vault experiment

[AndrewJW]

Any experiment that involves camera crews milling around that close proximity to the subjects is bogus

I heard the phrase "prison experiment" and my first thought was "DID WE LEARN NOTHING?"

[RandomPersonOnTheInternet_O.o]

… we all know just how well prison experiments go-

[Musicdudeyoutub]

Also, it's partly an experiment in how prisoners behave out of their cells, but it's mostly an experiment in how prisoners behave in front of a large audience

The show isn’t about a prison it’s a JAIL. that’s important to mention because the two are very different environments.

My mom’s an endocrinologist and she occasionally does some work with prisons. She seen a lot of inadequacies and wanted to experiment with new treatments plans for prisoners but found that it’s near impossible because the people who run prisons don’t really want research to be done to improve prison environments.

interesting until I realized there are victim’s families who expect justice in that the criminal’s punishment is to be served in confinement.

I heard prison experiment, immediate panic as Stanford comes to mind

[Slobzz]

you lock people in rooms for 23 hours a day and then to no ones surprise... they're violent.

Absolutely loved it! 10/10 recommend. Really enjoyed seeing how their minds worked & their situations and also it was really interesting seeing old generations and newer generations trying to find middle ground. It has the potential to be such a good Socratic seminar based on literature around the jail experience, like Walter Dean Myer’s “Monster” and James Baldwin’s “If Beale Street Could Talk” It makes me wish I was still in school lol.

[Rattlor]

Too bad the prisoners aren’t smart enough to troll the warden and get along with each other.

[Ensitrious]

I actually watched it in full. It’s probably not the most representative of reality because they know they’re being filmed but I still really enjoyed it. A lot of them were actually likeable. Like Randy was my favorite personally.

[rstuff]

23 hours locked up in a cell and they wonder why these violence prone men weren't in their best mood.

[edgychico]

Turns into a European prison where prisoners treated with great care and they literally have anything in prison and it was like a 5 stars hotel 💀

[nicholaslopez]

Thats exactly how my rehab was in the military, and tbh, it tought me the most about life and felt like i actually got the break from the stress of life i really needed, compared to jail which is quite literally breaking you physically and mentally, in turn turning you into a worse person then when you went in,

"Some of you may die, but that is a risk I am willing to take"

[timewarrior]

Of course it's Arkansas, our police arent there when you need them and are when theres no need for them. And then they do this

[EDGKangKang]

The real experiment is how they will act while knowing they are TV show characters

[bertiesgirl]

So similar to 90 days in prison show, in fact the sherrif looks like the guy who runs that prison
