U.S. judges admit to jailing children for money

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Two judges pleaded guilty on Thursday to accepting more than $2.6 million from a private youth detention centre in Pennsylvania in return for giving hundreds of youths and teenagers long sentences.

Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan of the Court of Common Pleas in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, entered plea agreements in federal court in Scranton admitting that they took payoffs from PA Childcare and a sister company, Western PA Childcare, between 2003 and 2006.

Well, it is the system outside the prison that is the slavery - the ones in the prison are just being tortured to scare the slaves outside.

Going a little to far you think?

I mean I'm all for bringing back the gallows and or hard labor camps for serious offences, but not for 15-17 yearold kids.
