Editing Stanford prison experiment (section)

=== Carlo Prescott as a prison consultant ===

In 2005, an article was published by Carlo Prescott in ''[[The Stanford Daily]]'', explaining that the antagonistic tactics used by the guards were ones that he experienced during his time spent in [[San Quentin Rehabilitation Center|San Quentin]]. He shared each one in detail with the researchers prior to the experiment. In Prescott's opinion, the participants with the experiment, having no experience as prison guards, could not have acted in the ways they did unless they had been told of the explicit details of the actions they took.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Prescott|first=C.|date=2005|title=The lie of the Stanford Prison Experiment|url=https://archives.stanforddaily.com/2005/04/28?page=4&section=MODSMD_ARTICLE21#article|website=archives.stanforddaily.com|publisher=The Stanford Daily|access-date=November 9, 2021}}</ref>

Zimbardo has stated that he believed that the article was not written by Prescott, but rather by the screenwriter and producer [[Michael Lazarou]], who had attempted unsuccessfully to get the movie rights to the story of the SPE. In Zimbardo's opinion, Prescott would not have written in such a legalistic way, and Zimbardo claims that, in telephone records and emails obtained by Brett Emory, the SPE movie's producer asserted Prescott was not the author.<ref name="auto">Zimbardo, P., Hardwick, D.
