Walling

Walling is a method of torture that consists of stressing an individual by placing his heels against a wall and repeatedly having his body slammed into the wall by a torturer. The intent of walling is for the individual's shoulder blades to hit a flexible wall specifically constructed to create a loud noise as to scare the individual into believing excessive damage to his body was underway.

Famous quotes containing the word walling:

“Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That wants it down.’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
