Coming Soon: Tortured Justice
from CNN Presents · host CNN Podcasts
Imagine you were tortured by police and sent to prison for 30 years for a crime you didn’t commit. Is there anything that could make up for what was done to you? What would justice look like? Would it even be possible? In a new series, CNN's Omar Jimenez tells the story of one of the darkest chapters in American policing history. For decades, a police commander on Chicago's South Side and the officers under him routinely tortured suspects, often extracting false confessions that saw dozens wrongfully convicted. Chicago is still in the midst of a reckoning. And the costs are high. Listen to Tortured Justice September 17, 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
