Taylor and the PLO gathered evidence from multiple cases to bring suit against the CPD, breaking the department's 'code of silence' that had enabled decades of cover-up. The legal precedents they set have since been adopted in human rights legislation around the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49589175058705,"sku":"GOR013403617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49849508430097,"sku":"CIN160846895XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51747047932177,"sku":"CIN160846895XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/160846895X.jpg?v=1750720935"},{"product_id":"torture-machine-book-flint-taylor-9781642594690","title":"The Torture Machine","description":"With his colleagues at the People’s Law Office (PLO), Taylor has argued landmark civil rights cases that have exposed corruption and cover-ups within the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and throughout the city’s corrupt political machine.  The Torture Machine takes the reader from the 1969 murders of Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton and Panther Mark Clark—and the historic, thirteen-years of litigation that followed—through the dogged pursuit of commander Jon Burge, the leader of a torture ring within the CPD that used barbaric methods, including electric shock, to elicit false confessions from suspects.  Joining forces with community activists, torture survivors and their families, other lawyers, and local reporters, Taylor and the PLO gathered evidence from multiple cases to bring suit against the CPD officers and the City of Chicago.  As the struggle expanded beyond the torture scandal to the ultimately successful campaign to end the death penalty in Illinois, and obtained reparations for many of the torture survivors, it set human rights precedents that have since been adopted across the United States.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49908245397777,"sku":"CIN1642594695G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51042977644817,"sku":"NIN9781642594690","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52471948149009,"sku":"NLS9781642594690","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53006350549265,"sku":"CIN1642594695VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1642594695.jpg?v=1750960389"},{"product_id":"conviction-machine-book-flint-taylor-9798888905920","title":"The Conviction Machine","description":"A captivating account of the most corrupt and blood-soaked chapters in Chicago law enforcement history    In December 1969, the FBI, the Chicago Police Department, and the office of States Attorney, led by rising political star Edward V.
