Netflix’s ‘The New Stanford Prison Experiment‘ is a reality show based on the controversial 1971 Stanford prison experiment. In the modern-day reimagining of the intense social experiment, 30 volunteers are brought together in a real prison facility, where they must spend 2 weeks. One of the participants in season 1 was Chet Hudson, who was appointed as a guard on the day shift. As the prison’s dynamics shifted, he was later stripped of his role as a guard and made an inmate, which altered his entire outlook on the experiment.
