As I am not quite far enough in the book to know, what is the deal with Room 101? Is it a torture room, or maybe a room where there they brain wash you to forget all of the terrors the thought police out you through if you are found guilty?

Room 101 is the worst possible thing you could imagine. It is not just a room with the number 101 on the door, it is much more than that. The Thought Police held off the capture of Wiston and Julia for this reason. They needed to figure out their deepest secrets, uncover their worst fears. When they found this out, they were then able to capture the two. In Room 101, your mind is completely destroyed, you are brainwashed. And anyone who has had their mind reprogrammed knows what is to come. Wiston is expecting the worst and he is right in thinking that. Room 101 pushed him into wishing Julia would take his place instead, the one person he thought he loved. Imagine that, something so terrible you'd rather it be the person you love than you. Hopefully this helps!
