I've found the story of one torture victim and it truly is horrible. Here are the highlowlights:

... forcing him to strip, eat chalk, and chew cigarette ends.

They are accused of a wide range of offences including causing bodily harm and coercion over beatings inflicted on the victim from September last year.

Prosecutors say the victim's [peers] knew about or were involved in what they call the "systematic torture" that began two weeks after he arrived at the institution.

The alleged acts include forcing the [victim] to expose his genitals, and punching or beating him with objects including sticks and a screwdriver.

The alleged abusers videotaped their actions...some of the pictures were distributed on the internet.

Prosecutors say the [alleged abusers] have all confessed but one of the defence lawyers...said none had been able to explain why they acted as they did.

The four alleged ringleaders have been in custody since early February.
...
The victim, who is undergoing therapy, was not present for Tuesday's hearing but has been asked to give evidence next week.

And if that's what the Europeans are doing at their vocational schools then God only knows what they're doing in their prisons.

The students, aged 16 to 18, allegedly beat and kicked their 17-year-old victim...

They were all students at a vocational school in Hildesheim, near Hanover, on a one-year course to prepare them for jobs.
