"Have dealt with many wimps (used to be their king at one stage!) - many would fold long before they fainted."

Then they aren't real wimps. REAL wimps would faint first, meaning it's impossible to get anything from them as anything even remotely resembling violence (like an angry dog bark) would make them a gibbering mess if not outright unconscious.

"...every one breaks."

Depends on what you mean by breaking. Given people have willingly committed suicide instead of surrendering, I would think there are some who would simply endeavor themselves, regardless of circumstances, to make it so that when they break, they shatter and become utterly useless in any event. Even if totally bound and helpless, they'd probably tap hysterical strength to tear their own bodies apart and bleed out.
