Same reason why we don't try to extract confessions through drugs or 
torture or solitary. They can be horribly unreliable especially if 
said victim is delusional.

Furthermore I think there are things called the rights of the accused 
that prohibits forcibly extracting confessions from people and such 
things from people.
