What you call "state-sponsored torture" was analyzed a few months ago...

Am I alone in thinking that half-drowning suspects, leaving them naked
in cold weather - putting them in metal boxes in Summer tropical
weather, procuring prolongued sleep deprivation, to name just the
first four reported abuses that came to mind, is not to be called
'torture"?
Even the Nazis allowed (admittedly patchy) Red Cross prisoner
visitations, in WW11
