i think this is the last i heard about it:
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/13/homan-square-chicago-police-records-secret-interrogation-facility-new-documents-lawsuit

and from before:
Earlier this month, the city of Chicago paid out $5.5 million to victims tortured by former Police Commander Jon Burge. Between 1972 and 1991, Burge and his men forced confessions out of more than 200 people by torturing them with suffocation, beatings, and genital electrocution. After costing the city over $100 million in legal fees and settlements, Burge continues to receive a $4,000 monthly pension from the city.

bonus:
Former Chicago homicide detective and Guantanamo Bay interrogator, Richard Zuley, faced multiple lawsuits alleging he coerced confessions, threatened suspects’ family members, planted evidence, and committed torture. After retiring from the department, Zuley was placed in charge of the interrogation of Guantanamo detainee, Mohammedou Ould Slahi. According to Slahi’s testimony, Zuley tortured him, subjected him to mock executions, and threatened to bring Slahi’s mother to Guantanamo to rape her.

The USA: Literally wartime Syria

E: wait no that's too harsh to syria which is working to brutally control its population whereas the US just had too much bureaucratic inertia to tell Chief Psycho to cut back on his hobbies
