My Midnight Years: Surviving Jon Burge's Police Torture Ring and Death Row
Ronald Kitchen
Blackstone Audiobooks
2018
cd
Ronald Kitchen was twenty-one, on his way to buy milk for his four-year-old, when he was picked up by the Chicago police, brutally tortured, and coerced to confess to five counts of heinous murder. He spent twenty-two years in prison, thirteen of those on death row, labeled as a monster. Kitchen was only one of the many victims of Jon Burge and his notorious Midnight Crew that terrorized and incarcerated black men-118 have come forward so far-on the south side of Chicago for nearly two decades.Not one to give up, Kitchen co-founded the Death Row 10 from his maximum security cell block. Together, these men fought to expose the grave injustices that led to their wrongful convictions. The Death Row 10 appeared on 60 Minutes II, Nightline, Oprah, and Geraldo Rivera, and with the help of lawyers and activists outside, were instrumental in turning the tide against the death penalty in Illinois. Kitchen was finally exonerated in 2013 and filed a high-profile lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department, Jon Burge, Mayor Richard Daley, and the Cook County State's Attorney.Kitchen's story is outrageous and heartbreaking. Largely absent from the current social justice narratives are the testimonies of the victims themselves. Kitchen is a rare survivor who has turned his suffering into a public cause and is poised to become a powerful spokesperson. The atrocities of the Midnight Crew have been brought to light through Kitchen's actions and are now part of the discussion as the nation engages in an unprecedented conversation about racism.

That of which is from the beginning, that we have heard and have seen with our eyes and have touched with our hands, this we proclaim the Word of Life. And, as we venture, so does a better understanding for some, but not all. In our world, some things we come to understand, and some we simply do not. Win, lose, or draw, something is given, and something is taken away. I have witnessed and have seen a great deal since coming into this world. Many impressions made, many given, many taken, and many an opportunity or story-line missed or not put into perspective for most. You become a mistaken Identity to some while you search for yourself. We all have our truth to tell, from our own perspectives... Welcome Please Come Along for The Ride
In a world full of corruption and fornicated standards, through our own life encounters and everyday circumstances that have been laid out for us, we often lose sight of what matters, or the gist of it all. Many become victims on their journey, some fall prey, some find their way to the light. As miraculous as it is, every aspect of our world is controlled and programmed for us. There is an endless array of outcomes with a predetermined beneficiary. All we have to do is open our eyes and see it for what it is "...I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties... For when I am weak, then I am strong".
As we venture through this world called Life, there are things you may never come to understand. I have discovered and witnessed more than my fair share, and I have been consumed, just as many of us are. Hope has nothing to do with surviving or obtaining a better place. Hope is an illusion. There is destiny, fate, and karma. There is also much that we must step up and do, to gain a better understanding, and to manage the wrong. The irony of Love, is that it guarantees some degree of anger, fear, and criticism. In the act of loving someone, you will arm them against you Love is a kind of Military Service. Where there is love, there is Pain You can win this war
