In the '40s,
there were five prisoners who were put into a room

After only a few days,
they were whispering to themselves,
turning on each other, showing signs of paranoia.
And when one of them was screaming so loud he tore his vocal cords,
the rest of them didn't even blink.
By the end of it, they were chewing their fingers down to the bone,
literally feeding on themselves.
