Prisoners were stripped naked, chained, and was forced to wear bags over their heads. 2. Yes at that place was voluntary participation in the experiment, because all of the participants signed up for the experiment. except the acts committed in the experiment most likely werent voluntary, kernel that the prisoners did non volunteer to be treated how they were treated.They didnt hit the sack that they would be involved in unethical acts and be treated unfairly. 3.

ACJS The ACJS would apply to the prison experiment by letting the guards know that in their professional activities as guards, members of the ACJS are committed to enhancing the general welfare of society and of the individuals and groups within it.Members of the Academy are especially careful to avoid incompetent, unethical or unscrupulous use of criminal justice knowledge. They own the great potential for harm that is associated with the study of criminal justice, and they do not knowingly place the well-being of themselves or other people in jeopardy in their professional work.
