(This is only one of 11 torture centers employed by Pinochet. He also used three torture ships stationed offshore.)

From a site:

The Crimes of Augusto Pinochet

This site contains accounts of the crimes of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990. The texts explain what people are talking about when they call him a "dictator" or "strong man" who committed a few "human rights violations". These reports tend to confirm one another, and collectively give some idea of the range and scale of the atrocities.

It seems dull, colorless people suddenly find an enthusiastic zest for life when they are given ultimate control over their countrymen. It's a real pity.
