Thinking about the whump potential of this subterranean cell I visited when I was a child:
The cell is located inside a tunnel, and it's incredibly small. The prisoner had to lie down, sit or stay on their knees, otherwise they wouldn't fit inside.
There's more space behind the bars the picture doesn't show, but it's not much more comfortable.
Now, for the whump potential:
- Lock your whumpee in the dark and forget about them for a day or two.
- Build your cell next to the shore, so the high tide can invade the cell every once in a while. Poor whumpee won't be able to lie down or they can risk drowning. Better stay on their knees.
- Public humiliation: the cell is placed in plain sight, like a large gutter, and everyone can touch whumpee or throw things at them.
- Isolating whumpee from their team. Everyone gets to be together in a large cell, but whumpee is kept alone in that cubicle, hunched up as small as they can.
- Take the tunnel away and you can have vampire whumpee cowering from the first rays of sunlight that invades their cell, with nowhere else to go.
