In 1973 Philip Zimbardo studied the issues as known as “Stanford prison experiment”. The literal events in the prison were so unpleasant and dangerous which made the entire experiment had to stop after 6 days which was supposed to be 14 days experiment. In one day, one prisoner had to be released caused by disorganized thinking, uncontrollable crying and screaming such as severe symptoms of emotional disturbance. In two days the violence and rebellion started. On the forth day two more prisoners showed symptoms of severe disturbance so they have been released. The behavior of prisoner became subdued and submissive. At the same time the aggression and the harassment by guards had increased steadily day by day.
