Penn Judge: 30 years in prison 4 selling kids 2 prisons

hmmm

Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. has been sentenced to almost three decades in jail after conspiring with private prisons to trade kids for cash.

In the private prison industry, longer sentences earn more money from the state.

Since 2003, Ciavarella received millions of dollars in bribes for condemning minors to maximum prison sentences. In one case, Ciavarella sentenced a 10-year-old to two years in a detention facility for accidentally bottoming out his mother’s car.

According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, over 5,000 young men and women were unjustly sentenced to prison and denied their constitutional rights. Many of them have now been released and cleared of their charges.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has overturned some 4,000 convictions issued by him between 2003 and 2008, claiming he violated the constitutional rights of the juveniles – including the right to legal counsel and the right to intelligently enter a plea. Some of the juveniles he sentenced were as young as 10-years old.

Disgusting.

This is one example where "privatization" is a bad idea.

Let the government run the jails without the LEAST concern for "profit".

The ONLY way 2 make guarantees about capacity rates is thru a network of judges like this.

I far as I know, all private prisons have guarantee rates.

This is why privatisation shouldn't be allowed for certain things.

Schools and hospitals are others.
