Investigating the darkest corners of the criminal justice system
Dedicated journalism, data analysis, community engagement
Exposing torture through ground-breaking journalism
The Bell Project is a non-profit newsroom investigating torture in the American criminal justice system. No other media organization tracks these extreme abuses on a national scale. Our reporting will expose the extent of this issue and its underlying causes for the first time.
We are developing a public archive of torture allegations, an investigative series, and educational community programming to inform the public about this critical problem. The Bell Project will launch in late 2026.
