Voluntary Torture

To become acquainted with the so-called humane process of government information extraction (some may call torture), citizens could volunteer their time to test the legitimacy of these techniques based on a compilation of given intelligence. The volunteers would be given intelligence that is worthless or vital to the tortures, yet the subjects and the tortures would be unaware of its validity. Given the proper incentives (say money) for the tortures to extract the information and subjects to keep it, and base the payout to a final decision as to whether the victim is a threat and/or hiding potential information, we may collect enough information about torture to weigh its benefits versus its costs
