Policing/ 24
years in prison
Meet American torture victim Darrell Cannon. On the
morning of Nov. 2, 1983, Cannon, then 32 years old, was tortured while in
the custody of the Chicago Police Department. Officers escorted him from his
Southside home at 7:30am and took him to a local precinct where they shocked
him in the testicles and the mouth with an electric cattle prod and struck his
knees with a baton, trying to force him to confess to a murder he didn’t
commit. Cannon gave a false confession around 2pm that afternoon.
