'I sat in that place for three days, man': Chicagoans detail abusive confinement inside police 'black site'

• Four black men recall prolonged shackling and off-the-books interrogation
• Lawyers: ‘majority of abuse’ at Homan Square focuses on minority Americans
• Black Lives Matter movement backs protests amid pressure for federal inquiry

Four black Chicagoans have now come forward to the Guardian detailing off-the-books ordeals at the facility, including another who describes being detained in “a big cage” with his wrists cuffed to a bench so he couldn’t move.

Brock Terry, 31, says police took him to Homan Square in 2011, after finding him with five and a half pounds of marijuana, and describes being held for three entire days without public notice, booking or a lawyer.
“I sat in that place for three days, man – with no talking, no calls to nobody,” Terry told the Guardian on Friday. His friends and family could not find him: “They call police stations, I’m not there, I’m not there.”
“I was kept there. I didn’t speak to a lawyer or anything,” he continued. “I didn’t interact with nobody for three days. And then when I do see the light of day, I go straight to another police station, go straight there to county and be processed.”
Terry detailed being handcuffed in one room at Homan Square by one wrist to a “little circular thing behind the bench”, echoing the accounts of the two Nato protesters interviewed by the Guardian, though Terry said he did not have his ankles cuffed together.

The current mayor and former Chief of Staff to President Obama Rahm Emanuel whose currently running for a second term had this to say;

 Mayor Rahm Emanuel, currently facing a heated runoff for re-election, said on Thursday night it was “not true” that the police maintain a facility lawyers have compared to a CIA “black site”.

"It's not true." All those people interviewed separately are lying about what happened  to them while incarcerated at Homan square.
