It's been a long while since I've read the book, but I don't remember it being really specific. He definitely goes to great lengths to explain to Raphael what they will be doing to him. I can't remember if this is word for word, so please forgive the paraphrasing, but he basically says to Raphael "First we will tie you down so that you can't move. You will be sitting here in this chair naked and unable to leave. Then we will take out our instruments. Pliers, knives, maybe other things. First, we will rip out each of your fingernails, one by one. You might be screaming at that point. Go ahead and scream. Then we will probably cut off your fingers, one at a time. We will use the pliers and the knives and cut them off, crushing the bone and then cutting through the rest. At this point you'll probably want to throw up. Do that. Throw up all over yourself if you want to. I'd eat a big breakfast, so that you will have more to throw up. The audience really likes to watch that sort of thing. Don't hold anything back. The more pain you show, the better. We will probably crush your testicles next." There's a lot more, it's a whole chapter, but it basically goes on like that.
Anyone else who's read the book, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. It's been about eight months, and I don't own the book, so I can't remember exactly.
