The Anatomy of Torture - ( 7signs )

Here are the 7 most obvious signs of torture:

1.) Hair that observably has been grabbed and pulled by force is usually indicative of the victim having been dragged to a secondary place of abuse. ***
2.a.) Tormented facial countenance locked in overwrought expressions of pain and distress is most commonly associated with torture.
b.) Eyes perpetually shutting out the experiences of negative-stimuli (reality) in attempt to take refuge in more acceptable trauma-induced fantasy worlds is often a symptom of prolonged physical and psychological torture.
c.1.) Strained smiles uneasily splayed across a victim's face could very well be compulsory unspoken public denial of abuse in the presence of oppressors.
c.2.) Severely precipitated aging, such as deeply set facial creases and premature balding, definitely point toward torturous ordeals.
3.) Articles of clothing that seem overly-constricting or out of place, especially around the head and neck, are probably intended to cover incriminating signs of choking and struggle (bruises, chaffing, rope-burns, etc). That, and the unadulterated cruelty of dressing anyone to look like Colonel Sanders are unmistakable signposts of abuse.
4.) Sharp objects pierced through skin, whether on purpose or by "accident," really hurt.(If anyone ever wants or needs a sample of my D.N.A., you could probably still find some at the tip of that pin!)
5.) Hands pressed tightly in pleading supplication for pain to end should be taken as another sign…
6.) Painfully forced postures intended to shame, belittle, ridicule, debase, and disgrace any person are acceptable alternatives to actually beating one's victims. Creepy environments, humiliating devices, and sadistic equipment are often incorporated into a tyrant's shtick.
For example… 7.) Powder-Blue Polyester-Blend Bellbottom Suit.
