    Every division of the Jidong Prison has solitary confinement cells, which are two metres in length, one metre in width, and have only a small skylight on the ceiling. The walls of these cells are padded with foam to prevent distraught detainees from committing suicide. Solitary confinement in these cells is nerve-racking. Some inmates have nervous breakdowns, and may howl day and night. These solitary confinement cells are the first thing that greets sentenced Dafa practitioners. Each practitioner is locked up for at least 15 days, and sometimes up to several months, until he gives up Falun Dafa. Wardens deprive practitioners of sleep, and as soon as a practitioner closes their eyes, wardens order inmates to prick them with needles. Inmates often kick and hit Dafa practitioners with sticks and triangular belts.

  • Unconventional Methods of Torture Used on Falun Dafa Practitioners in Binjiang Prison, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province

    Binjiang Prison uses unconventional methods to torture practitioners. The guards in this prison do not beat or reprimand practitioners, but determined practitioners are confined to a small room. If they refuse to accept "transformation," they will be cut off from all contact with the outside world and will not be allowed to contact anyone but the police guards that are "helping to educate" them. The guards use their deceptive and corrupt notions to wear down the will of the determined practitioners and make them give up their righteous belief so they will accept "transformation." This method of isolating practitioners from the outside world for long periods of time results in their developing a distorted reliance on the guards.
