How many lives has this son of a bitch ruined? Kids as young as 10 years old imprisoned? Another example of what happens when the profit motive overrides public safety
An American judge known for his harsh and autocratic courtroom manner was jailed for 28 years for conspiring with private prisons to hand young offenders maximum sentences in return for kickbacks amounting to millions of dollars.
Mark Ciavarella Jnr was ordered to pay $1.2m (£770,000) in restitution after he was found to be a “figurehead” in the conspiracy that saw thousands of children unjustly punished in the name of profit in the case that became known as “kids for cash”.
Quote:
...taking more than $2m in bribes from the builder of the PA Child Care and Western PA Child Care detention centres and extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the facilities’ co-owner. Ciavarella Jnr filled the beds of the private prisons with children as young as 10, many of them first-time offenders convicted minor crimes.
You gotta love a system where Judges voted into office is sooooooooooo much better. You gotta love a system of private prisons that are corporations that have a structure to be able pay kickbacks.
Must be some sort of invisible hand thing that makes this so much better, than one run by the Government.

The problem is that the judge could know which detention centres the kids would wind up in. That creates the profit motive for an evil man. However, if he had not been tried and convicted, he could certainly have been voted out of office.
