abstract="The paper summarises some highpoints from my past field experience of thirty years, to il-lustrate different issues, difficulties and best practices when visiting prisoners. I recount some of my most relevant experiences, both positive and negative, with individuals who had been tortured, interviewing and exam-ining them whilst they were still in custody. They might be of interest to younger genera-tions of physicians working on these issues.The examples, all from the field, should demonstrate the importance of showing true &quot;empathy&quot; for the victims, so as to obtain their trust - and hence their stories. The examples are as varied as have been the different settings and encounters with both victims and perpe-trators. I have tried to illustrate the many pit-falls to avoid, and provide suggestions on how best to avoid them.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
