5. Induction of Fatigue. This is a well-known device for breaking
will power and critical powers of judgment. Deprivation of sleep results
in more intense psychological debilitation than does any other method of
engendering fatigue. The communists vary their methods. "Conveyor belt"
interrogation that last 50-60 hours will make almost any individual com-
promise, but there is danger that this will kill the victim. It is safer
to conduct interrogations of 8-10 hours at night while forcing the
prisoner
to remain awake during the day. Additional interruptions in the
remaining
2-3 hours of allotted sleep quickly reduce the most resilient individual
.
Alternate administration of drug stimulants and depressants hastens
the
process of fatigue and sharpens the psychological reactions of
excitement
and depression.
