Third Degree System Of Police
on Record as Torture Survival

by the Italian Judge as humane measure in
a barbarous system At least Marsigli said
IT was humane. and perhaps to his brutal way
of thinking it was.
This mode of torture consisted in placing
the accused between two Jailers or execution
er's assistants whose duty it was to keep the
unfortunate culprit awake Whenever the
prisoner dozed he was struck about the face
and head. and all the while one OF the judges
of the court or examining Officers was pres
ent to ply him with questions having TO do
with the crime Of which he was accused. The
executioner's assistants and judges were used
in relays to relieve each other and the DUR"
tion of the torture prescribed by the Ia"
written by Marsg was forty hours Mar

4" iE Supreme Court OF the State OF

claring that the third degree methods OF

thumb screw. rack. strappado and other modes
OF torture common in the prisons Of Europe az
late as the closing years OF the eighteenth cent
ury. and only finally legally abolished in some
OF the German states in the second quarter OF
the nineteenth century. and the full Bench
agreed that the third degree could not legally
be used and was In contraventon Of a prisoners
constitutional rights.
II was the open boast Of the local police that
the wearing out process has been used with
great success in wringing confessions from OBJ
durate prisoners "The wearing out process

situa ton is nothing more less than "the
