Biden's commutation of a sentence given to a Pennsylvania judge convicted of railroading children to prison in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks from the private prison's operator to himself and Judge Mark Ciaverella.
In a truly sinister scandal that came to be known by the nickname "Kids-for-Cash," Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan pled guilty to racketeering charges and was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison. By some estimates, the scheme affected more than 2,500 juveniles. In many cases, the minors were provided no defense counsel, and the crooked judges creatively applied laws in order to lengthen sentences. In a case handled by Ciaverella, a 15-year-old girl who created a MySpace page to mock her school's assistant principal had a 90-second, no-lawyer trial, and was sentenced to three months in confinement.
Pennsylvania mob called in the favor?
Biden is making the Demonrats proud………
NEVER underestimate the power these private prisons have over the political scene. They kick back millions to keep the prisons full. THe worst move ever made was privatizing the prison system. It opened a whole new avenue for corruption.
they prob make a lot of political donations incognito as well
That should wake up anyone with a brain and a heart, in Pennsylvania.
Demons.
How much did this cost the judge? I bet the good guys know.
would be nice for every child sentenced there would sue the shit right out of him.
