The prisoner revolt at Attica prison in New York. Based on his study, Zimbardo concluded that prison uses intimidation and fear to break the mental wills of inmates. Because of this, prisoners, as a result of their treatment, often felt less than human because they were denied simple freedoms and liberties. The inmates of Attica prison revolted against the guards. When negotiating with the police, the inmates demanded better living conditions and basic human rights.
