[edit]In the vastly influential Argentine text Facundo, or Civilization and Barbarism, for example, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento describes the use of pepper and turpentine enemas by police forces as a way of discouraging political dissent in post-independence Argentina.[1] Turpentine enemas are very harsh purgatives.[2]
In the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp, the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture documented instances of enemas being used by the Central Intelligence Agency in order to ensure "total control" over detainees.[3] Enemas, officials said, are uncomfortable and degrading,[4] The CIA forced nutrient enema on detainees who attempted hunger strikes, documenting “With head lower than torso … sloshing up the large intestines … [what] I infer is that you get a tube up as you can … We used the largest Ewal [sic] tube we had” wrote an officer,[5] and "violent enemas" is how a detainee described what he received.[6]
