Because fascists love the idea of reacting to "crime" with violence. They fully believe that good things will happen if just you're tough enough to the bad people below you. They even think violence and humiliation is an appropriate way of dealing with your own kids. Fucking psychos.
Not only sensationalized, but yeah, the "guards" were encouraged to be extra cruel, and a few just ran with it. Vsauce interviews one of them in this video.
In the linked comic, the author makes the connection to the Stanford experiment and explicitly brings this up. His theory is that the experimenter got just as wrapped up in the role of the abuser as the prison staff did, and that only intervention from outside was able to snap him out of it and get the experiment ended.
I think that's a pretty standard interpretation now. Everyone was playing the role that was expected of them, with the professor unintentionally egging them on.
Parents have basically unlimited rights to do whatever they want to their child as long as it doesn't leave marks. CPS is supposed to prevent abuse but between institutional racism, limits on their oversight, and vicious suburban and evangelical parents there's very strong limits on what CPS can actually achieve.
I mean homeschooling is legal, cops in schools sending 12 year olds to prison because they got in a fight is legal, the US prison system routinely uses torture to the point where European countries won't extradite here. The US is the bad place.
How in the Stanford Prison Experiment hell is this shit legal?
In the birthplace of fascism, this shit is always legal.
