Kids for Cash




See also Democracy Now:

"[T]housands of children in Pennsylvania were jailed by two corrupt judges who received $2.6 million in kickbacks from the builders and owners of private prison facilities... "

"Charlie Balasavage was sent to juvenile detention after his parents unknowingly bought him a stolen scooter; Hillary Transue was detained for creating a MySpace page mocking her assistant high school principal. They were both 14 years old and were sentenced by the same judge, Judge Mark Ciavarella, who is now in jail himself serving a 28-year sentence. "


"Balasavage and Transue are featured in the new documentary, "Kids for Cash," by filmmaker Robert May..."

"The story is still developing: In October, the private juvenile-detention companies in the scandal settled a civil lawsuit for $2.5 million."
