Ethical Issues In Prison Simulation Study

If researchers use specialized terms or language which is common in research, subjects may not understand the meaning and are unable to give consent. Federal regulations on human subjects includes special provisions of certain subjects called special population, juveniles and prisoners. Juveniles as human subjects usually involve the parents or guardian permission and sometimes from the juvenile subject themselves. Prisoners are treated as a special population for other reasons. Because of their ready accessibility to experiments and interviews, prisoners have frequently been used in biomedical experiments that produce serious harm (Mitford, 1973).
