OMG, OMG, OMf*****gG!!!
I don't get easily shocked, at this point, when it comes to injustice in the "justice" system (horrified, yes, but not shocked anymore) but this managed to do it.:
"As many as 5,000 children in Pennsylvania have been found guilty, and up to 2,000 of them jailed, by [Ben's edit: at least] two corrupt judges who received kickbacks from the builders and owners of private prison facilities that benefited. The two judges pleaded guilty in a stunning case of greed and corruption that is still unfolding."
