Why would they use torture of all things to interrogate people when various mind control spells like [Charm Person] and [Mystic Eyes of Charm] are readily available? They can be used to force the victim answer questions as demonstrated by Shalltear when she questioned that one adventurer about the potion Ainz gave her in volume 3 chapter 2.

Failing that, there's [Animate Dead], likely other reanimation spells as well. There's a bit again in volume 3 chapter 2 where Shalltear and her Vampire Brides ask a Lesser Vampire made from one of the bandits they were hunting about the location of their hideout, so we know at least some undead keep at least some of their memories intact.

Either way, it seems like they'd gain faster and more reliable information by just using the mind control method of their choice and asking, never mind not having to worry about prisoners dying on them before they are done. I vaguely remember one of the Slane Theocracy prisoners dying before they were done with the interrogation, so that does seem like a genuine concern.
