white torture by loud music for days is missing

“Loud music for days” is sensory overload; “white room torture” is characterized by sensory deprivation. Personal Robot (talk) 01:08, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Merger discussion
An anonymous user at IP 187.26.5.181 has suggested that Hooding be merged into White torture. Please discuss the proposed merger here, indicating whether you support or oppose the merger, and offering reasons or arguments for your position. I am neutral on the question.

 * Oppose' -- I'm unfamiliar with the term "white torture" used here, but it doesn't seem to involve keeping a hood over someone's head. It also seems to be a comprehensive torture regimen, if you will, which deserves its own page. If not, and it is primarily a euphemism for torture that doesn't leave a mark on its victim (as the European lawyers discussing Guantanamo seem to use the term), hooding isn't the appropriate page to merge ti with.--Carwil (talk) 01:29, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose (disclaimer: I am a main editor of Hooding). It's not a very good article (yet), it's an unfamiliar term (certainly to me), "hooding" strikes me as eminently independently notable, and I don't see a valid reason offered for a merge. Cnilep, thanks for passing on the suggestion on behalf of the IP. Drmies (talk) 04:46, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

W. Germany
You forgot to mention that W. Germany was the first to use "white" prison cells in 1974 during RAF's trial... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stelarov (talk • contribs) 15:59, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

White torture effects
Why do I feel this kind of torture will make a suspect regardless of being innocent/guilty will make them confess to the accusation just to be free already 2001:8F8:133B:12E8:8937:12AE:5206:DB83 (talk) 12:57, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Additional “Use” examples needed.
Additional entries are needed under the “Use” section. It currently only includes Venezuela, while the 1st portion of the article lists the United States of America, and claims white room torture is especially prevalent in Iran. Personal Robot (talk) 01:13, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

In Media: Early Usage
White room torture actually was a part of Winston's punishment or torture in the Ministry of Love in 1984 which was written in 1948. I just thought I should mention that as I say that no one listed it as an example of where it appeared. It is also important as this is earlier than when it was first used making it one of the first appearances of this kind of torture as an idea itself possibly the first. Just thought that was interesting and should be mentioned on the main page. Throwawayforstudy (talk) 02:27, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
