Two Pennsylvania county judges stand accused of sending thousands of teenagers to juvenile prison in exchange for $2.6 million in bribes from the privately run detention facilities.
Our legal system fails sometimes. And, as the above reminds us, there is occasionally corruption. In this case, two corrupt judges may have incorrectly sentenced thousands of teenagers to prison. Strong protections for the accused, high quality public defenders, and even rights for those found guilty are how we defend against and mitigate these problems.
