Okay, with your arms out in front of you.

Q doesn't know whether management was tipped off to their escape plan, or if they just got sick of all of the information leaks and the lackluster work performance. Q said that he and the others had been refusing to work to make themselves less valuable as slaves. So it was basically a unions track alongside an escape plot.

So it's understandable, if they're under surveillance, why management decided to come down on them heavily.

We're going to take a quick break. But when we come back, Q and his gang enter the dark room. Hey, welcome back. Sir Q and about 25 other Africans from a range of countries have been refusing to work while plotting an escape. And now they've been asked, will you work or do you want to go into the darkroom? And this seems insanely brave to me, but most of them chose the darkroom.

And the dark room in the Taichung Scammer Farm is actually open to the sky. It's a strip of land between the back of a building and the compound's outer wall. It's basically like an alleyway with a series of hooks bolted to the walls.

When Q told me this story, I kept trying to imagine how it would feel to be hung by your arms for days on end. And I think it would be the kind of thing that just might be bearable for an hour, but after that, the pain would just become all-consuming. I mean, imagine all of your body weight transferred to your arms and your wrists for days.

And yet, that wasn't even the worst of it, because Q and his friends, they weren't even allowed to sleep.

I've never experienced the kind of pain where I've had this out-of-body experience. But somehow, it got worse. The man hanging on a hook next to Q was Ethiopian. And Q noticed that this man was kind of wiggling around, trying to get his handcuffs off.

And in a way, that tragedy of his death was kind of overshadowed by everyone's private pain. The agony in their arms and of hunger and extreme dehydration.

As Q told me your story, I was wondering how this ordeal felt, especially how it would feel to hang from your arms for just so long. And I know it's morbid, but I was curious. So I asked.
