High School

A detention center formerly used to torture POWs during war to extract information, their use was outlawed by the Geneva Convention of 1929 as a war crime. After 1864, and the closure of these facilities, the torturers, also known as "teachers," often remained inside, due to the fact that they were now social outcasts as a result of their work. Sadistic parents often used them to punish their children. The punishment's popularity grew until the 1960's when the punishment became so widespread that many parents began to falsely believe it was mandatory to send their children to these facilities on a daily basis. The UN is still trying to root out all of these illegal facilities, however the popularly held belief that they are a necessary component of creating a functional society has greatly hindered their efforts to remove the illegal facilities.
