Explain and provide examples of the “third degree.”
What will be an ideal response?
Answer may vary. The third degree was the use of force by police to induce suspects to provide information during interrogations. Methods employed varied but included beatings with a rubber hose, batons, or other implements; placing the suspect in a sweat box; drilling teeth; and burning with cigarettes or cigars. The practice was banned in 1936 as a result of the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Mississippi.
