Mise en place afin de briser les résistances de l'accusé, l'instauration d'un climat d'oppression est à l'origine de plusieurs fausses confessions. Parmi les facteurs les plus souvent cités, mentionnons l'intoxication de l'accusé, son mauvais état de santé, sa fragilité psychologique, la privation de sommeil, de vêtements chauds, d'eau et de nourriture, l'absence de soins médicaux et le déni systématique de son droit de garder le silence.  1, record 1, French, - climat%20d%27oppression
