The prisoners were falsely promised that they would be set free from the prison if they completed the experiment in the specified 30 days. In a military-sanctioned scientific experiment, five prisoners that were deemed enemies of the state were kept in a sealed gas chamber, with an experimental gas-based stimulant compound continually administered to keep the subjects awake for 30 consecutive days.
