'Kids for Cash' Judge Gets 28 Years. Good.

Sumbitch..I hope he gets what he deserves.

Quote:Pennsylvania Judge Mark Ciavarella jailed teenagers for minor offenses (e.g. satirizing a teacher on Myspace) in return for over $1 million in kickbacks from the area’s for-profit youth prison. Mother Sandy Fonzo alleges that Judge Ciavarella is only “the tip of the iceberg” in a practice that is occurring across the country. Fonzo’s star-wrestler son, whom Ciavarella sentenced, committed suicide after spending six months imprisoned among violent offenders as punishment for being caught with a marijuana pipe. In her words, “Judge Ciavarella is proof that for-profit incarceration cannot happen.”

The Kids For Cash scandal involved more than 30 state and local government officials and contractors, says ABC News.

We're all about locking up kids in Josephine County. Our jailors are begging for work. And, it's easy to find. Over half the kids we can lock up for pot. And, that allows the shrinks to jump into the fray and snag their fair share. Where it gets sad is when you read that Dr. Jackson Demspey's DARE poster child is found dead in an alley in San Francisco. Dead. And, murdered.
