    In this transcript Peter mentions “salt brine, which Overseer put in my back”.[8] This practice, sometimes called salting, was attested in many accounts of slave torture reported over many decades.[16] Other substances, including turpentine, hot-pepper juice, and dripping candle wax, were also used.[
