Beyond the settlement: Helping Chicago’s many survivors of police torture
Update: 2025-11-13
Description
Chicago passed a reparations ordinance 10 years ago for the survivors of police torture committed under the direction of disgraced Chicago police commander Jon Burge.
As we learned in our last episode, monetary reparations alone cannot heal decades of trauma.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the limits of monetary settlements and what else survivors need to heal. We also take a look at how Chicago’s reparations ordinance is looking 10 years later with Aislinn Pulley, the executive director of the Chicago Torture Justice Center, which was established as part of the reparations ordinance.
