  2012-07-06

If a practitioner refuses to cooperate, the guards order other inmates to torture her. They seal the practitioner's mouth with thick layers of tape, and tie a towel around her neck in order to make it hard for her to breathe. Then they drag the practitioner across the floor. The practitioner would be tied to a bed standing upright, fastened to the bunk bed poles with tape around her chest and legs.
