Kids for Cash

Here's a follow up to a story a while back about a PA judge convicted of conspiring to sent kids to a detention facility without allowing them adequate opportunities to defend themselves in court. The men who ran the private facility financially supported the judge which makes this a great example of the corruption and petty tyranny that can result when governing institutions stop checking and balancing each other.
