Ronald Kitchen (2)

Jon Burge (December 20, 1947 – September 19, 2018) was a detective and commander in the Chicago Police Department who was found guilty of having "directly participated in or implicitly approved the torture" of at least 118 people in police custody in order to force false confessions. This is a memoir of one young man being victimized by this racist criminal and his transition back into society after being freed from incarceration. In 1999, lawyers for several death row inmates began to show more call for a special review of convictions that were based on evidence and confessions extracted by Burge and his colleagues. These inmates: Aaron Patterson; Madison Hobley; Stanley Howard; Leonard Kidd; Derrick King; Ronald Kitchen (the author); Reginald Mahaffey; Jerry Mahaffey; Andrew Maxwell, and Leroy Orange, became known as the "Death Row 10". Kitchen describes what life is like beyond the settlement he received in living a life where so much time was taken from him. This covers reintegrating into his family specifically and a post-institutionalization relationship with society. show less
