This calm, no-music true crime documentary explores the Stanford Prison Experiment (1971) — one ofthe most discussed psychological studies in modern history. Conducted atStanford University by psychologist Philip Zimbardo, the experiment placedvolunteers into simulated prison roles to examine how authority and environmentinfluence human behaviour. What unfolded raised serious ethical concerns, ledto early termination of the study and later influenced research standardsaround the world.

This episode follows the confirmed timeline ofthe experiment, including recruitment, the simulated prison environment,behavioural changes, intervention, institutional review and the long-termimpact on psychology and research ethics. It also examines how academic debateand later reassessment shaped modern understanding of research responsibility.

There is no graphic content, no backgroundmusic and no sensational language. The pacing is slow, respectful and designedfor relaxation, sleep and calm late-night listening while still deliveringdetailed true crime storytelling.
