No More Heroes

The Party is very cunning when comes to executing their prisoners. They usually torture anyone who has anti-Party thoughts or intentions, but where most totalitarian states would just kill the outright, The Party breaks them down. The Party's philosophy on execution is that it wants to spare all martyrs, they want no heroes for the cause to die. That's why they torture all non-believers, they want to completely turn them over to Big Brother and the longer they resist, the longer the torture will take place. They will only allow people who love Big Brother to be killed, the Party usually holds fake courts and publicly shows them on every telescreen and show everyone that their cause for freedom and justice was wrong and that the offenders must admit they are wrong. The offenders usually admit their wrong doing and the Party lets them go, then they're executed just to show the people the fallen hero and tear away any chances of them dying a martyr.
