Blood Relative
“‘And now,’ she said, ‘the rubber cell.’In German the word she used was ‘Gummizelle’, which sounds childishly silly to an English-speaker, like a Gummy Bear. The cell, however, was stark, brutal and utterly horrifying.‘As you can see, this cell is entirely lined in padded black rubber, making it pitch-black and soundproof. Prisoners would be given heavy doses of drugs to make them feel disorientated. For days, they would stumble to and fro, not knowing where they were, falling against the walls,... losing track of day and night, up and down, any kind of reality at all until they cracked and began talking to themselves, screaming for mercy, losing control of their minds and bodies. Every single word they said was recorded, just in case there were useful pieces of information there, in amongst all the crazy rubbish. When prisoners were let out, the cells were washed down, to get rid of all the blood, the vomit and the shit. A crew of female prisoners did that, working in the early hours of the morning, like chambermaids getting a hotel room ready before the next guest arrives.MoreLess
