A prisoner is shackled at the feet and handcuffed at the wrists, reinforced with a box-like structure which stiffens the chains and locks the wrists at a 90-degree angle. The handcuffs are connected to a waist chain that is connected to another chain which connects the shackles. Once this shackling is complete, a prisoner can barely move. The tightened manacles pinch the nerves and restrict the flow of blood causing severe pain and swelling. Legs swelling with blood are particularly damaging to the feet, as toenails under pressure from blood-blisters press up against shoes for long periods of time and soon become infected and deformed, causing such excruciating pain that they require surgery or the pulling of the nails out by the roots. Diesel therapy gets its name, not from the "cruel and unusual" bondage, but from being forced into bus after bus and onto plane after plane, shackled as described, and being shuttled from one prison to another, for weeks on end, 20 hours per day in chains, for no other reason than to cause pain and suffering and give the prisoner a "message." http://www.proliberty.com/observer/prt0497a.htm Improper Imprisonment-US Congressman "Diesel therapy" consists of being put on diesel busses or airplanes and ...

| a little diesel therapy, huh? ¿te llevaron a pasear, eh? Explanation: Te van a llevar del tingo al tango hasta que tu gente/tus amigotes/ compinches ya no sepan ni donde estás y les importes un carajo. Te van a llevar del tingo al tango o te van a marear. Por supuesto que tendrás que adaptar esto con regionalismos, si es para Argentina. No creo que se trate de heroína por el resto del diálogo, que bien explica la táctica de llevarlo un lado al otro hasta que nadie sepa en que cárcel lo tienen. |
