Having met a few people that have been through SEER. (Search, Escape, Evasion and Resistance as best I can recall), torturers have imagination. Soldiers who go through training learn to plan to survive- what I recall participants saying is to try to survive 24-48 hours is the critical time. You learn a story close enough to your own that you won't get tripped up, and you give the info you have to protecting what you can.
