The Chicago Torture Justice Center was born out of reparations for survivors of police torture.

Survivors and their families fought for decades for access to the trauma-informed resources and politicized healing support that the Center now offers. Today, with hundreds of survivors still incarcerated and the persistence of racialized police violence, that fight continues.

We offer clinical healing services, reentry support, and case management to meet survivors where they are, and work in community to organize for new systems.

The Chicago Torture Justice Center seeks to address the traumas of police violence and institutionalized racism through access to healing and wellness services, trauma-informed resources, and community connection. The Center is a part of and supports a movement to end all forms of police violence.
