The Independent -An American judge known for his harsh and autocratic courtroom manner was jailed for 28 years for conspiring with private prisons to hand young offenders maximum sentences in return for kickbacks amounting to millions of dollars.Mark Ciavarella Jr. was ordered to pay $1.2m in restitution after he was found to be a figurehead in the conspiracy that saw thousands of children unjustly punished in the name of profit in the case that became known as kids for cash. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has overturned some 4,000 convictions issued by the former Luzerne County judge 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. Ciavarella Jr, 61, was tried and convicted of racketeering charges earlier this year but his lawyers had asked for a reasonable sentence, claiming that he had already been punished enough.
Fuck this guy. 28 years is too kind. He should be stoned to death. Ruined 4000 kids lives because he was getting cash kickbacks. Don’t do that my dude. If you want to go intoracketeering, you go into waste management. Duh. Just don’t falsely imprison people.
