>systemic (EDIT: Systemic, as opposed to a crime committed by a rogue prison guard) torture

having systemically rogue prison guards (say because they never really get punished and everybody aware about it, and frequently even with tacit approval) is a form of systemic torture. Have been this way in USSR/Russia for example.

Of course. But the sources don’t show this to be the case, it’s just an assumption.
