Please improve the article or discuss the issue on the talk page. Interrogation is a methodology employed during the interview of a person, referred to as a "source", to obtain information that the source would not otherwise willingly disclose.
A typical purpose is not necessarily to force a confession, but rather to develop, playing on the source's character, sufficient rapport as to prompt the source to disclose information valuable to the interrogator.
A well-conducted interrogation will not usually involve torture, which in practice is widely acknowledged to be ineffective at producing true, accurate, correct and reliable information. Torture is any act by which severe pain, whether physical or psychological, is intentionally inflicted on a person as a means of intimidation, deterrence, revenge, punishment, sadism, or information gathering. ...

Different methods of interrogation There are multiple possible methods of interrogation including deception, torture, increasing suggestibility, and using mind-altering drugs.

Crossing the line Interrogation methods used at Guantanamo Bay and many other U.S. camps for illegal combatants could, with special approval, include sleep deprivation, exposure to extremes of cold and heat, and placing prisoners in "stress positions" for long periods of time. It has been suggested in various media outlets that such harsh treatment during interrogation may cross the boundary between acceptable methods of gaining information and torture. Detainees upon arrival at Camp X-Ray, January 2002 Guantánamo Bay detainment camp, serving as a joint military prison and interrogation center under the leadership of Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO), has occupied a portion of the United States Navys base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba since 2002. ...

Movement for increased recording of interrogations in the US Currently, there is a movement for mandatory electronic recording of all custodial interrogations in the United States.[2] "Electronic Recording" describes the process of recording interrogations from start to finish. This is in contrast to a "taped" or "recorded confession," which typically only includes the final statement of the suspect. "Taped interrogation" is the traditional term for this process; however, as analog is becoming less and less common, statutes and scholars are referring to the process as "electronically recording" interviews or interrogations. Alaska,[3] Illinois,[4] Maine,[5], Minnesota,[6] and Wisconsin[7] are the only states to require taped interrogation. New Jersey’s taping requirement started on January 1, 2006.[8][9] Massachusetts allows jury instructions that state that the courts prefer taped interrogations. See Commonwealth v. DiGiambattista, 813 N.E.2d 516, 533-34 (Mass. 2004). Commander Neil Nelson of the St. Paul Police Department, an expert in taped interrogation,[10] has described taped interrogation in Minnesota as the "best thing ever rammed down our throats."[11] [edit]
