Q. If all these persons apply for idealistic reasons, why are they offered recompense?
A. I suppose it is to serve as a small reward for the unpleasantness of the experience.
Q. Don’t you believe that the money was the motive for many of them—a hundred dollars?
A. That is rather small. From the point of view of prisoners in the penitentiary in the United States, a hundred dollars isn’t much money.
Q. For a prisoner that would be quite a lot of money, it seems to me, for someone at liberty it is not so much.
A. No. Our prisoners in the penitentiary in the United States, when they work in factories in the prisons, receive pecuniary compensation for that work.
Q. I believe that is so throughout the world.
A. That is put in a trust fund for them to use when they get out.
Q. Do you think that the money is sufficient recompense or compensation for what the experimental subject has to go through?
A. I should not consider it so, and I don’t believe that any of the prisoners did. As a matter of fact, I was told that some of them would not accept the money.
