The terrorist group ISIS has been known for using horrendous torture methods to spread fear towards the public. There are varies videos that demonstrate their cruelty to people who don't follow their beliefs.

A common practice ISIS perform on prisoners is shabeh. Shabeh translates to "ghost" and what this method does is hold captives for days with their hands tied above the ground. Often times prisoners lose the ability to move their hands due to dislocated joints. It can also causes damage to the brachial  plexus which is the nerves that control the arm movements.

Not only are people torture physically but mentally as well. Prisoners are held in a tight space jail for an exhausting amount of time. Afterwards, they'll begin to have a psychotic breakdown. This then causes strategic secrets and confessions to be revealed; thus giving ISIS an advantage. It has been proven that victims of this terrorist group become insane due to the traumatic experience.
