To study the roles of guards and prisoners they created a mock prison. 23 men unfamiliar with each other volunteered to participate in the study and were assigned the roles of prisoners and guards. Both adapted to their new roles. A rebellion on the second day led to harsh retaliation by the guards. Ruthless retributive action was taken to punish the prisoners. The researchers intended to run the experiment for 2 weeks. It was, however, terminated on the sixth day due to the emotional breakdown of prisoners and excessive aggression by the guards.
