We're born, we live and then we die. It's said that death is the only certainty in life. How very true. This epic volume was never intended for publication and began as scribbled notes that transformed into pages. Chapter after chapter then flowed with such ease. Many can choose to struggle on and survive as best they can though I've finally concluded I'm no longer that strong though my humorous nature seems to spur me on. Life has lost its meaning in my mind and the chore of living in a world as vicious as this one has always been is painful, too agonizing to contemplate any further. After a lifetime of torment and brutality, my existence has no further meaning. I feel broken... degraded... and cannot seem to rise above the mire and become what society expects me to be any longer. My childhood is still so easily recalled though I have no wish to enlarge on my adult years any more than I have. In my own comical manner, I do not want to create a 'Fifty Shades of Pink' in any way, shape or form. Neither am I looking for sympathy. I am what I am. A manic depressive individual with a strange, sometimes cutting dry wit, who has always been beaten down into believing he has no place in the social order of today and certainly no right to a conscious existence. I do exist in my past simply because I have no other way to gauge a life by. If ever there was a plan behind this torment then it's end goal is now in sight. I absolutely adore this planet we live on but despite my continual mental anguish, some aspects of humanity have made me realise that I no longer wish to remain here. Tyranny is abound in all the places I have looked. Cruelty, crime, lies, greed and injustice appear to be everywhere. I'm lost upon a sea of anguish and despair from distant history, unable to land upon solid ground and discover any sense of peace and tranquillity, honesty or kindness. That old battle of good versus evil rages on in every society on the planet and especially within my mind. One thought, a conclusion and a way out, echoes across my consciousness, hour after hour, day after day and with no respite in sight: We're born, we live and we die. Why prolong the inevitable?

Torture is an open secret in Chicago. Nobody in power wants to acknowledge this grim reality, but everyone knows it happens—and that the torturers are the police. Three to five new claims are submitted to the Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission of Illinois each week. Four hundred cases are currently pending investigation. Between 1972 and 1991, at least 125 black suspects were tortured by Chicago police officers working under former Police Commander Jon Burge. As the more recent revelations from the Homan Square “black site” show, that brutal period is far from a historical anomaly. For more than fifty years, police officers who took an oath to protect and serve have instead beaten, electrocuted, suffocated, and raped hundreds—perhaps thousands—of Chicago residents. In The Torture Letters, Laurence Ralph chronicles the history of torture in Chicago, the burgeoning activist movement against police violence, and the American public’s complicity in perpetuating torture at home and abroad. Engaging with a long tradition of epistolary meditations on racism in the United States, from James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time to Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me, Ralph offers in this book a collection of open letters written to protesters, victims, students, and others. Through these moving, questing, enraged letters, Ralph bears witness to police violence that began in Burge’s Area Two and follows the city’s networks of torture to the global War on Terror. From Vietnam to Geneva to Guantanamo Bay—Ralph’s story extends as far as the legacy of American imperialism. Combining insights from fourteen years of research on torture with testimonies of victims of police violence, retired officers, lawyers, and protesters, this is a powerful indictment of police violence and a fierce challenge to all Americans to demand an end to the systems that support it. With compassion and careful skill, Ralph uncovers the tangled connections among law enforcement, the political machine, and the courts in Chicago, amplifying the voices of torture victims who are still with us—and lending a voice to those long deceased.
