We classify ``truly confining'' (t-confining) supersymmetric gauge theories, in which no center charges can be screened, and Wilson loops in the fundamental representation are therefore expected to exhibit an area law. In all cases, we identify the condensation of certain ``magnetic'' operators. Many of them have more than three branches, and one with vanishing superpotential, a phenomenon not previously observed.
