these 2 Penn. judges took millions for sending kids to institutions for minor infractions:
In the so-called kids-for-cash scandal, Pennsylvania state judges Mark Ciavarella, 72, and Michael Conahan, 70, shuttered a county-run juvenile detention center in exchange for $2.8million in illegal payments from the co-owner and builder of two for-profit jails.
US District Judge Christopher Conner has awarded almost 300 plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the judges, with $106million in compensatory damages and $100million in punitive damages.
Ciaverella is serving a 28-year prison sentence in Kentucky, and is scheduled to be released in 2035.

Meanwhile, Conohan is serving a more than 17-year sentence but was released to home confinement with six years left in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
whether or not they ever get the money, it's still a recognition of the trauma and suffering so many kids and their families had to go through
 
Reminds me of one of my sisters and her husband (who, luckily was a county supervisor at the time) who managed to pull a kid out of a juvenile detention center and foster him when the judge supervising him had been using him to work on his farm without compensation on every-day release--and abusing him to boot.
 
"Justice" for profit isn't new.... Clintons got rich on it in the 90's.

Not that it was a problem when they were champions of locking up those "super predators". to make fat bucks.

They're SPECIAL!!! LOL
