A very simple piece of rope restraint kept the prisoner occupied for a period of stress bondage and captivity. A short length of rope was used to tie the prisoner's wrists behind his back. Normally this would be quite easy to escape from and so a piece of string was also used

to tie the prisoner's thumbs together. Without the use of his opposable thumbs his hands and fingers became useless and he had no chance of escaping from his bonds. His wrist and thumb ropes were then attached to a further piece of rope which was attached to the top of the door frame behind him. The rope was shortened sufficiently to pull his wrists up in the air behind him and force him to lean forward into a classic strappado position. His ankles were tied together with a further piece of rope preventing the prisoner from moving around and adjusting his centre of gravity in an attempt to try and relieve the stress on his wrists, arms and shoulders. For this period of bondage the prisoner was made to wear a PVC t-shirt and tight fitting silky nylon German army P.E. shorts made by Adidas. A sponge ball was placed in the prisoner's mouth and then duct taped firmly in place. A tight zip-up rubber hood with two small nose hose was placed over his head. The prisoner was then left to suffer. Towards the end of his captivity the prisoner was able to escape from his ankle bonds but unfortunately for him was unable to escape from the wrists restraints and so remained in the strappado position.
