Class Action suit filed against Judges
The families of several hundred youths sentenced to private detention centers filed a class-action lawsuit against two Pennsylvania judges accused of taking kickbacks for harsh sentences. In the lawsuits, the two judges and others are alleged to have engaged in corruption in sentencing juvenile offenders to private detention centers in return for more than $2 million in payoffs. The two judges have both agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges in connection with the case.
