In many places there is no way to kill someone ASAP. Just to let them starve and dehydrate until they die.

But if they can detect I'm thinking, they can detect at least binary differences between my mental state. Which means that I can communicate somehow.

It's hard to do both of those things; you will die of dehydration before hunger is more than an inconvenience.
