THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT

The current situation in prisons call for a study to identify how to mitigate the challenges that prisoners face. Some proponents have embraced many dispositional hypotheses to blame the evil activities in the prisons. There has also been a study that investigate how individuals express evil acts as a result of poor treatment from the staff. The result of these actions is riots, recidivism, and corruption. These activities make the prisons not to be what they should be. The attention is also driven away from complex matrix of social, economic, and political factors that can join to result in a positive change. Rioting prisoners are identified transferred to maximum prison institutions or sometimes shot, without the consultation of the relevant individuals. The issues are continuing unchanged and its basic structure unexamined (Retish, 2017). It is essential to investigate the issue and find out possible remedies that will help in reducing the constant aggressions that has been experienced in prisons. Moreover, it is important to identify the weaknesses that exist in the prison institution to prevent prisoners from escaping the institution.

However, the hypothesis on the dispositional is difficult to critically evaluate directly through observation of the exiting prison setting. It is because the realistic observations muddle the acute impact of the surrounding with chronic features of the prisoners and the guarding staff. To identify the cause of these effects it is necessary to implement a research strategy which will involve a new inmate from a different social-psychological milieu to the existing system of prison. The prisons from the institution with normal conditions will act as the control group for the research.

This research will mainly investigate the major challenges that the prisoners face during their sentences period. it will also focus on the investigation of the harsh experiences that the prisoners encounter that may lead to their aggression. To achieve accurate result this research will apply survey of individuals from defend prisons and compare the results for analysis. The data will be collected through conducting interviews, filling questionnaires, and making direct observation on the behaviors of inmates at different interval (Axinn & Pearce, n.d.). The results will be analyzed according to the responses.

SECTION C: Review Type

SECTION D: Project Purpose/ Research Question/ Objectives

In non-technical language, address the following:

1. Topic and scope of the study.

2. Research questions or hypothesis.

3. How this study will contribute to knowledge in the field.

1. The research topic is on the investigation of challenges that prisoners face during their prison sentence. This study has its scope from the previous experience of aggressions that inmates have shown in the past.

1. The hypotheses include:

1. Inmates face challenges in during their prison sentence and has led to their rebellion

2. The aggressions and riots experienced in prisons is as a result of problems facing prisoners.

1. The knowledge will help the concerned staff to come up with effective approaches to rescue the situation before it worsens further. Furthermore, it will help in improvising ways of handling inmates to make them be more productive to the society.

SECTION E: Participant Population and Recruitment

E1. In non-technical language, address the following:

1. Who will the participants be? How many participants? What ages will the participants be?

2. What is the inclusion/exclusion criteria for participants?

3. Where and how participants will be recruited?

1. The participants will be inmates in two different institutions. the study will pick 75 inmates to answer the questionnaires. The recommended age of individuals that will be legible for the study will be 28 years.

1. The inclusion criteria of the participants will be in instances where an individual with higher age, more information and experience in the prison can provide data.

1. The recruitment of the participants will take place in the prison institution and it will take place on the basis of willingness to give accurate information.

SECTION F: Research Design

In non-technical language, address the following:

1. State the study activities in chronological order. Describe both the activities conducted by members of the research team and the activities of research participants. (e.g., screening, survey, taking a test, answering questions in an interview, completing a specific task, tasks on a computer, running on a treadmill, debriefing, etc.) If videotaping, photographs, or audio-taping will take place, explain how and why recording will occur.

2. Explain how the data will be analyzed or studied; that is, indicate the quantitative or qualitative data analysis methods you will use.

3. Explain how the data will be reported in order to maintain the confidentiality or anonymity of participants (i.e. aggregated, anonymously, names used with consent, participants only identified by professional role, etc.).

1. The chronological order of the study will include conducting survey on the individuals to answer the questionnaires by the research team, distributing questionnaires to the participants to answer, asking the participants interview question, and finally analysis of data by the research team.

1. The analysis of the data will be through statistical analysis of frequencies and percentages. Finding the mean and standard deviation will also help to analyze the data. Raw data will be coded, evaluated and tabulated to identify the causes of aggression in the prison.

1. The data will be protected through giving serial number to the participants to protect their privacy.
