bamboo was hammered under POW's finger nails. POW's, would be tied down on the ground or horizontally in the air, over freshly planted bamboo seeds. The fast growing bamboo shoots would supposedly pierce their skin or even grow all the way through them. They let the bamboo pierce them until the POW's answered questions the torturers asked. The torturers would even feed them and hydrate them to make sure they would stay alive to feel the torture. They would also cut the tips of the stems to make a sharp point as they grew towards the prisoner. If the prisoner refused to cooperate they were left there as the bamboo continued to grow. Due to the incredible strength of the bamboo stem and the sharpness of the tip, the plant would pierce the skin and continue to grow through the abdomen, eventually causing death bamboo was hammered under POW's finger nails.
