This database documents the U.S. government's official experiment with torture. At present, the database contains well over 100,000 pages of government documents obtained primarily through Freedom of Information Act litigation and requests filed by the ACLU, and through litigation of Salim v.

To learn more about the database, please read the About and Search Help pages. If you're a developer, you can also access this data through our API.
