Gives new meaning to the phrase "Breathe to please"; similar horror stories are well published in the environ of the Siberian Gulag system. While other prisoners starved slowly by the thousands, some participated in hunger strikes. In a fit of sadistic unlogic, these prisoners were force fed with tubes, much as they are now.
