From what I've heard mental 'torture' does happen a lot to get people to confess to crimes. I have a friend who is a police detective in a very large city and he told me (after a few too many cocktails) that they have gotten people to confess to crimes that they know they didn't commit just because they knew that the suspect was a 'bad guy'. Now I'm not saying I have a problem with the 'bad guys' being locked up, but it makes you think a little bit about the inadequacies of the system!
-on a side note, I love that I just blamed something on 'the system'-
