Zac is perfect for this experiment because he is very emotionally detached, which is something that happens when people are heavily institutionalized. The military is an institution.

18:52 it may seem like a threat but in reality it's heartwarming. The inmates don't want to see Zac in jail. Y.k it does show the humanity in some inmates rather than a lesser than how most people treat them.

At first i thought the same thing. It basically trashed the first whole month of work. But after seeing the results derived from the final pod quickly changed my mind on that. It actually made me wonder why they didn't keep Zac in D pod the whole two months. Clearly there was much more intel to gain from that pod considering the danger level.

one thing the military has to be good for is to get you used to just being bored out of your mind while also worried for your safety. And compared to being in Afghanistan, Jail would probably be a bit more boring but a lot less worrying than the idea of random IEDs blowing you up.

Ashelie ruined his career by being charged with gun shooting with Zac's pistol. And she has been also emotionally unstable and had alcoholic issue for a long time. Zac, however, didn't leave her and be there for her as a husband and father of the kid. What more does she want? I think the reason he was portrayed a bit detached while Ashlie was in prison was because he didn't respond to her in ways that she wished. I think that is a matter of communication of both, not just Zac's.
