The results of the study were made known in Milgram s Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View (1974). So-called teachers (who were
actually the unknowing subjects of the experiment) were recruited by Milgram in response to a newspaper ad offering $4.00 for one hour s work.
(The purchasing power of $4.50 at that time amounted to some 14 loaves of bread or 22 beers).

December 15 marks yet another anniversary in the calendar of carceral violence: the killing of Soleiman Faqiri, who was beaten to death by guards in an Ontario solitary confinement cell in 2016. This August almost four years later the Ontario Provincial Police announced that no one will be charged.
Faqiri, known as Soli, was 30 years old. He had studied environmental engineering at university before being diagnosed with schizophrenia following a car accident in 2004. At the time of his death, he was being held in Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, Ontario, pending trial for assault. He was placed in solitary confinement despite his diagnosis, a violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture.
