Andrew had read of people subjected to long-term sensory deprivation in special sound-proofed, salt-water filled tanks of psychological laboratories or confined in the soundless cells of infamous Seclusion wing of the inhumanly cruel jungle prison that the French government had maintained at Devil’s Island off the coast of French Guiana to isolate and break the will of its political enemies. When a prisoner committed an infraction of the rules, or if the guards simply didn’t like him, he was sent to Seclusion for a period of time. There the prisoners were systematically starved to destroy their ability to resist as well as being subjected to enforced idleness in almost total darkness and a dead quietude.
