Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

We are NOT the Locust.
Never made that reference, I just think something along what I mentioned would be cool. Hell, give the Brutes a purpose, they seem fit for the torture position.
Because everything you mentioned sounds like something the Locust would do.
Now, let's get to some real reasoning. First off, the fleet at Reach was an all-Sangheili fleet. Not one Jiralhanae anywhere near it. They have no purpose here.
Second, this is a planetary invasion. There is no TIME to torture people like you want them to be. We have things to do and no time to waste making humans scream (which they do enough of on the battlefield). We are here to clear out the human infestation and get to the Forerunner ruins on the planet. Interrogations can be performed later.
Third, there is no room on a military craft for such rooms, and no need with how often they would be used (not often). There are far better uses for the space aboard.
Fourth, and you said it yourself: We don't take prisoners. We kill you and move on to the next guy. Even if we did, it would only be personnel we deem important, which is seldom and does not warrant the presence of any torture areas.
Fifth, that branding stick is a ceremonial device, used to brand the Mark of Shame into the flesh of those that dishonor themselves. Why would it be present on a war vessel?
Sixth, Lekgolo worms have not demonstrated flesh-eating activity.
First: The Fleet wasn't all Sangheili. It was just that you didn't see any Brutes.
Second:Who says it's going to purely be about the Battle of Reach? It could be about the battle and a little later on or before even. High priority targets could be captured and tortured.
Third: Yes there is. Those ships are -blam!- huge! You could put them in advanced brig-like torture devices.
Fourth: Yes they do. In pretty much every Halo game the covenant capture at least one Human prisoner.
Fifth: Make it into a torture device, plain and simple.
Sixth: Just because it hasn't been mentioned doesn't mean it's not possible.
