Tens of thousands of people in Syrian prisons have been tortured and nearly 18,000 have died since March 2011, says a report from Amnesty International.
The report recounts the experiences of thousands of former detainees including 65 torture survivors who describe everything from overcrowding to sleeping among corpses.
* As Syria's death toll grows, so too does indifference toward the crisis
* Obama says ISIS still a threat despite ousters in Iraq, Syria
Former detainees told Amnesty International the abuse often started from the day they entered prison.
The so-called "welcome parties" involved beatings with silicone or metal rods, which were followed by security checks that often involved the sexual assault of female prisoners.
"They treated us like animals. They wanted people to be as inhuman as possible … I saw the blood, it was like a river … I never imagined humanity would reach such a low level … they would have had no problem killing us right there and then," said Samer, a lawyer arrested near Hama.
