well there is different kind...for example when the us army wishes to interogate a prisoner...according to the geneva convention they are not allowed to do anything to the investigatee that the investigater doesnt go thru...for example...food deprivation...they cant withold food from the investigatee and give the investigator a buffet...or sleep deprivation...same thing basically...those are very common "tortures"...but during the inquisition...the church would start with something called the thumb squeezer...basically they would put your thumbs between two metal screws and screw them tighter and tighter until your thumbs break...there are alot of cool things that they did...and very interessting...torture is a very interessting topic...and cool too.

Beating is by far the most common method of torture and ill-treatment used by state officials today. Reports of beating have been received from more than 150 countries - virtually all the countries from which torture and ill-treatment have been reported since 1997. Common methods of torture and ill-treatment reported since 1997 include electric shocks (more than 40 countries), rape and sexual abuse in custody (more than 50 countries), suspension of the body (more than 40 countries), beating on the soles of the feet (more than 30 countries), suffocation (more than 30 countries), mock execution or threat of death (more than 50 countries) and prolonged solitary confinement (more than 50 countries). Other methods included submersion in water, stubbing out of cigarettes on the body, being tied to the back of a car and dragged behind it, sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation.
''Methods of torture include: stretching the body on a ladder; suspension from the wrists; electric shocks; pulling out the finger nails; dripping acid on the feet; the insertion of a broken bottle into the anus; prolonged flogging... We have, or have seen those who have, all experienced such blind methods of torture. Bodies of some took years to recover from the effects of torture, but the bodies of others have permanent disabilities.'' Letter smuggled out of a Syrian prison in January 2000
Other methods of torture and ill-treatment which have been reportedly used by state officials:
- Violently shaking
- Tying up the victim in painful positions for prolonged periods
- Flogging
- Prolonged exposure to cold or heat
- Forcibly use of drugs
- Sterilization without consent
- Threatening the victim
- Threatening to hurt friends or relatives of the victim
- Refusal to provide adequate or proper medical treatment

Unfortunately there are countless techniques. Sleep deprivation & real loud music more mild examples.
