(Clearwisdom.net) Jinan No. 1 Women's Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province is hell on earth for Falun Dafa practitioners. Practitioners who hold a firm belief in Falun Dafa and refuse to cooperate with the guards are more often than not detained in small isolation cells. One of the tortures frequently employed is the "Sitting Board", which is extremely painful but does not leave any sign of torture.
Practitioners detained in isolation cells are forced to sit on a small stool all day long. They have to sit straight with both feet held together, forming a 90 degree figure and the hands must be on their knees. Not the slightest movement is allowed, or the guards will beat them. They are forbidden to close their eyes, or they are beaten. Several days later, their buttocks are raw and bloody, black and blue. It is extremely painful.
Practitioners are frequently not allowed to sleep or to sleep for only half an hour, an hour, or two, driving them to the verge of despair. Despite this, the guards ordered inmates to curse at practitioners in efforts to have them "transform" and give up their beliefs.

One day in summer of 2009, Ms. Pang Weina told an inmate to keep in mind that "Dafa is good," but the inmate reported her to the guards. Therefore, Feng Jianhua imprisoned her in an isolation cell.
