The Chicago PD isn’t on this list because of their well-documented history of police brutality, but for something almost no one knew existed: Homan Square. That’s the name of the sketchy “dark site” where people taken into police custody are detained and interrogated for hours on end without ever being officially booked.

See, without that official booking, there’s no publicly available record of where they are, meaning concerned family or – even more importantly – lawyers have no way of locating them. Even a first-year cop show procedural fan knows a person who’s taken into custody is supposed to get a phone call and a lawyer if they so desire.

By far the scariest thing about Homan Square is how well they kept it hidden. It was first brought to the public’s attention by way of an investigation by The Guardian. Even the guy who founded Northwestern University Law School’s Center on Wrongful Convictions didn’t know about it, and he’s in Chicago. If you’d expect anyone to have the scoop, it would be him.
