This is an excellent source that describes the Stanford Prison Experiment. Discussion questions are provided for each stage of the experiment highlighted and to summarize to concepts addressed. Both video, pictures, and text is utilized throughout the site. There is a significant amount of additional resources provided further to understand the topic.
