They ended it early iirc, because the "authorities", the guards, were getting way out of hand, some of the prisoners were on the verge of suicidal, as well as all the guilt stuff. Very revealing experiment on the inherent nastiness of some human social structures.
Yeah, it was the guilt of those who were asked to do the "torture" that was the issue.
Also, anyone really interested in this should subject read Zimbardo's The Lucifer Principle. Lots has been talked about Zimbardo's prison experiment, but I believe this is the only book where he himself gives a full account of what happened, including his own rationalizations for continuing the experiments (rationalizations that, when challenged, revealed the full extent of what was actually going on, which shocked and deeply disturbed him).
