The Primary Researcher
The primary researcher in the Oregon State Prison Study was a man by the name of Dr. Carl Heller.Dr. Heller was a well known researcher in the field of endocrinology. Dr. Heller was the main researcher in the Oregon State Prison Study. The research done by Dr. Heller was largely due to a rivalry among Heller and one of his students named C. Alvin Paulsen. Paulsen began the experiments at a prison in Washington and this lead to Dr. Heller to begin his testing of the Oregon State Prison Subjects.(Steele 1994)

“We can be blamed for being duped, but nobody ever sat us down and explained what the tests were all about and what the complications were,” Robert Garrison, age 54, a former Oregon inmate who received repeated radiation exposures over several weeks in the late 1960s reveals to reporters. “But worst of all is the deceit that we’ve been subjected to afterwards. I can’t even get a doctor to diagnose my problems, let alone give me treatment for them. I shouldn’t have to scream to get some kind of results. I’m a human being too” (Lee, 1994, para. 14).
A former soldier was told that participating in the experiment was a way to serve his country. He believed them (Lee, 1994).
