From John Mark, one of the day guards.
A follow-up study in 2007 should not surprise anyone who knows a bit of psychology: when you ask for students to participate in a study about prison life, you get a different subset of people.
Which leads to some interesting problems for anyone who accepts the results but interprets them as self-selection - if 'power attracts the corruptible', then how do you fill positions of power?
Why, with your close personal relations.
Seriously, you try and make corruption costly. Make the uniforms in your casino have no pockets. A system that can do well enough with bad apples is generally more robust than a system that needs good apples.
