This is a link post Judge who jailed children in a kids-for-cash scam sentenced to 28 years
"After the public was made aware of the scandal, the Supreme Court threw out roughly 4,000 convictions that were passed down by Ciavarella over five years. According to them, the judge violated the constitutional rights of juvenile defendants by denying them legal counsel. Ciavarella is said to have had youngsters hauled off without allowing them to offer a defense during their trials."

Privitised prisons huh? who'da thought they would conspire with a judge to make a bigger profit.

This is a normal post I remember that story when it first broke, glad to see a tough sentance
although I saw no mention of the company that runs the jail getting in any shit (or maybe that day in court is yet to come?)
