In Pennsylvania, two elected judges received kickbacks for jailing kids in a detention center for cash. While some of the kids deserved their punishments, others did not. This is known as the Kids-for-Cash juvenile court scandal.
The judges took $2.6 million in kickbacks for sentencing thousands of children to detention facilities run by two privately owned companies. Prosecutors say young offenders were brought before these judges, often with no prior record with charges as small as stealing change from cars or writing prank notes. The judges then shipped them off to private facilities which got county money to house them. In exchange, the judges received money for each offender. They also received payoffs for the initial construction and operation of the juvenile jails.
These judges need to be executed.
We're not supposed to catch judges committing crimes!
They have a right to make a living!
>> These judges need to be executed.
I disagree.
Corrupt judges (and cops and public officials) should endure year after year of daily pain and suffering at the hands of a very competent torturer.
They should BEG for execution, and it should be withheld from them.

Too quick.
I think I'll switch to your plan. ;-D
We are now a Nation of sheep, just like for all other isues.
Just saw on Fox that one of the kids he jailed, committed suicide because of it. He really needs to be executed for that.
We are not a nation of sheop. We are a nation waking up as a whole to things that have been going on for a very long time. Without the internet, you and the rest of us would never have known about this story.
I've been swayed in favor of torturing him to death. How someone in such a position of public trust can do such a thing to children totally escapes by understanding.
I grow very weary of what this once great Nation has become.
Oh look, he is a demo-rat. No wonder you hear nothing of this on the Lame Stream Media.

Where is the outrage?
There are many things that should have us in the streets: TSA groping, SWAT raids to the wrong houses, declaration of returning vets as terrorism suspects, invasion through our Southern border, a Kenyan as President, general attack on the Bill of Rights, school children punished for possession of toys in the the shape of guns .... ON AND ON!!
We are definately sheep.
Wish I hadn’t seen the raw grief of the mother whose son killed himself because he was incarcerated by these Democrat crooks. And they let him out on bail while he appeals his case....for years, most likely. We can only hope that God will exact a full measure of His justice since our justice system is so rotten.
Rope. Lampost
I lived not far from these judges. There were two involved,and the other one used to meet regularly with the local mob guy to discuss cases. The guy who built the juvenile facility also copped a plea and gave the feds. these two. Sad case but Northeast Pa. has a history of bribery like this. At last count 18 had been indicted for various similar deals.
How ‘bout give each kid’s dad 10 minutes with him.
And a tire tool.
If anyones interested, Scandirito is now selling real estate in North Miami Beach......LOL!
