The Philadelphia Inquirer's John Sullivan last Sunday had this powerful followup to the Pennsylvania judicial scandal, where two judges were convicted of taking millions in kickbacks from privately run juvenile jails that the judges stocked with undeserving kids. Sullivan puts a face on the shocking reality of the scandal, showing how a bogus ruling by one of the corrupt judges set Charlie Salasavage on a three-year odyssey through the state's juvenile justice system. Charlie and his parents, plaintiffs in the civil suit brought by the judges' victims, talked to Sullivan. He confirmed details in court records and tells the story in as straightforward a way as you can -- considering how the facts will make any decent person seethe with rage. State officials are now trying to assess the cases of approximately 30 kids, including Charlie, still locked up out of the 2,500 estimated by the plaintiffs to have been run through this perverted system.

You wonder why this nation is so effed up. Greedy ass people stealing money from other people, and judges are doing it. Judges that we are suppose to be respect and there right on everything, such a Joke. Makes it harder to look up to people like this, especially for a kid.
