Contrary to the common population’s opinion I am the biggest enemy of torture. Speaking of 2021 it is still prevalent at a colossal scale (notably in developing countries).
In Czechoslovakia in the 1950s state-organized torture was extremely prevalent. Around 100 thousand people were imprisoned.
Then the trend has started to reverse. In the 1980s two correction officers tortured a murderer who was called “The Spartakiada’s murderer” because his crimes occurred during the communist sports feast.
They made him drink his own urine and blood and poured him with teakettle. They have damaged his genitals to the point he chose to be castrated.
But unbearable pain which is called torture was not only a prison phenomenon because of extremely brutal domestic violence in Czechoslovakia.
The communist regime then fell and prison torture became less prevalent. But as social pathological phenomenons started to be more robust as inequality arose more domestic violence cases started taking place.
And the new phenomenon of organized crime has emerged. So what regime was more humane? I am clenching my teeth to say that the former regime was less brutal.
