You're kept in solitary confinement and denied all communications with the outside world except for weekly visits. You can only talk to people through the telephone on either side. You mentioned torture and assault earlier. Because of my high profile, I got off better than my clients. But, torture maybe didn't mean the screwing of thumb nails for example, it could be other forms.
Sleep deprivation can be one of the worst possible .
When my client complained to me that she had been standing and interrogated for 72 hours at a stretch, I didn't believe her. Another one said to me they had stood for nearly 120 hours. But no, there are ways of waking you up. I stood for 17 hours without moving and then I realized that my clients were not telling me a fib. I can't even fathom how disillusioned you were by your country and the government there.
