"kids-for-cash."

What should be the punishment to fit this crime?


A Pennsylvania judge was sentenced to 28 years in prison in connection to a bribery scandal that roiled the state's juvenile justice system. Former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. was convicted of taking $1 million in bribes from developers of juvenile detention centers. The judge then presided over cases that would send juveniles to those same centers. The case came to be known as "kids-for-cash."

There should be a one-hour window every day when he's forced to sit at a phone and be host to one of the victims (if they choose to show up at the prison) so that they can tell him how much their life sucks because of him.

I wonder how many of the 28 years he will actually have to serve.

He'll find Jesus and be out in 3 on good behavior....

I'm guessing he'll serve maybe 10-12 years before being paroled.

You're probably right. And he'll prob.also hire an expensive top lawyer (with some of the dirty money he's made), who'll get him a lighter sentence at his next appeal.
The way the justice system works (regardless of country)

I love hearing stories about corrupt judges.
