The Stanford Prison Experiment

<p>Mike tells Sarah the complicated story of an over-simplified study. Digressions include Tonya Harding, "The Meg" and Kitty Genovese. The Milgram obedience studies and the "broken windows" theory of policing receive bonus debunkings. <br><br>Thanks to Thibault Le Texier for helping us with this episode!
