I had no idea at the time this photo was taken, that Doug Korpi’s replacement prisoner was an informant who was there to find out the plans for a prison break.

I also learned after the experiment that “the committee with the purpose of protecting experiment participants” did not exist. It was just another ruse to find out details about what they thought would be the return of Doug Korpi.
