Communism in microcosm

Blimey. In BBC2’s The Experiment, within five days, one of the guards is reacting to conflict by suggesting they overthrow the prison system and replace it with a commune based on equality between prisoner and guard! Revolution!

Unsurprisingly, the programme makers vetoed him, but it gives you more faith in human nature than The Stanford Prison Experiment, on which the show is based.
