The Dark Side of Freedom: Inside a Chinese Torture Camp

By Steven Bahr

This book is the whole truth about my 28 months in the Beijing number one detention center for pre-trial confinement. It is well known that prisoners are tortured in China. The newspapers have reported that Uyghur Muslims in western China's Xinjiang province are victims of cultural genocide, but Han Chinese prisoners can be victims also. How are the prisoners tortured? Why are they tortured? Why does it make sense from the perspective of the Chinese government? This book attempts to answer these questions. Mostly, the prisoners abused each other with encouragement from the guards. Sometimes the guards punished people. Behavior in the detention center had a big influence on prisoners' sentencing after trial, and some were executed.
