White torture

White torture, often referred to as white room torture, is a type of psychological torture technique aimed at complete sensory deprivation and isolation. A prisoner is held in a cell that is devoid of any color besides white, this method of torture is designed to deprive the prisoner of all senses and identity.

It is particularly used in Iran; however, there is also evidence of its use by intelligence services in the United States and Venezuela.
