Sanford Prison Experience

No, the Stanford Prison Experiments was not ethical, the prisoners and the guard’s sense of self were lost, truly believing that they were the roles they were playing. The researchers could of/might have caused psychological trauma in the future for both the “guards” and the “prisoners.” I would like to see how the people that participated in the experiments were affects by it psychologically in later life. Did the guards become violent after the experiment, having experienced a form of authority and being violate towards fellow participants (prisoners) of the experiment?
