Here's my idea: Any experiments gone wrong that are still alive get sent into a ring where prisoners in the Circus have to fight against it, and usually these things would be really, REALLY strong and stuff, with whatever weird tentacle stuff comes from being mutated (Jenova, anybody?). And another part could be exotic beasts against them instead, and maybe a place where the prisoner has to face their worst fear (which would have been figured out/tortured out of them beforehand.) And then you could pit prisoner against prisoner of course. Then there's the opportunity of setting everything on fire and then having an obstacle course, or maybe submersing the prisoner naked in one of those chamber thingies I've heard about that are REALLY cold but don't quite kill you if you watch the time. Or you could have a spot where you have a light shining outside and just feed 'em to the krakens that likely actually exist, down deep, who knows. Or you could find a giant killer fish, like an oversized what-cha-ma-call-ems, the really mean ones, like catfish but not actually catfish, (I think a gar or something) and just set the prisoner in a tank with the thing (so he can surface and stuff) and watch what happens. Or have a tank empty of life, just water, have a way out that's hidden, and watch the struggle. Or you can shine a really bright light in their eyes and watch them go blind. Break every bone in their body, slowly. Overdose them on meth or something, watch them run around like a schizophrenic, screaming about nonexistent things, harming themselves in place of some invisible creature, or watch as they starve trying to access a fridge "guarded by a dragon." Have them read disgusting fanfiction while holding a gun to their head, and if they refuse, shoot them in every non-fatal place you can think of and let them bleed to death.
Is it just me, or is this more like suggestions for torture?
