The box , also known as a hot box or sweatbox , is a method of solitary confinement used in humid and arid regions as a method of punishment . Anyone placed in one would experience extreme heat , dehydration , heat exhaustion , or even death , depending on when and how long one was kept in the box. Another variation of this punishment is known as sweating , the use of a heated room to punish or coerce a person into cooperating with the torturers.
The technique was used by prisons in the Southern United States until late in the 19th century and as punishment during times of slavery.[1]
The technique, then known as the "sweat box", was used in the Union Army during the American Civil War .[2]
The North Vietnamese Army used the technique at the infamous Hanoi Hilton .[3]
The CIA claims that the Chinese government has used "extreme heat" and "sweating" against dissidents .[4]
Use of a "sweatbox" has also been reported as a method of punishment in North Korean concentration camps, notably in Kang Chol-hwan 's book The Aquariums of Pyongyang .
In 2008, it was revealed that the U.S. military was detaining Iraqi prisoners in wooden crates, arousing concern of their use as hotboxes.[5]
In 2009, Marcia Powell , a prisoner at Arizona State Prison Complex – Perryville , United States, died of heat exposure after being placed in an outdoor cage for four hours.[6]
The Tarrafal camp , in Cape Verde , used a small windowless shack as a form of torture against prisoners, most of them convicted of conspiring against Salazar's regime in Portugal .
Crown Prince Sado of Joseon was executed by being forced into a rice box in July of 1762.
Hot box torture has been portrayed in numerous films and television shows, including Leadbelly, Hell's Highway , Life , Life Is Beautiful , Cool Hand Luke , Stir Crazy , Take the Money and Run , Carbine Williams , The Longest Yard and its 2005 remake , Seven Days , The Bridge on the River Kwai , Von Ryan's Express , Prison Break , The X-Files , Firefly , Sullivan's Travels , My Name is Earl , The A-Team , Farscape , Burn Notice , Batman: The Animated Series , Bates Motel , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Django Unchained , Stranger Things , 1923 and Escape Plan . A parody of hot box torture was portrayed by a sandbox in Toy Story 3 . Box torture was also used on Josh Groban in Muppets Most Wanted .
