Judges Plead Guilty for Trading Cash for Teens

WOW WOW WOW does it really surprize you...not me!!! I work at a "non-profit" Teen drug rehab in HI when push comes to shove it always about the money. I have seen the same kids 2 or 3 times come thru my door. The Teen Judicial system is broken.

I hope they drop the soap .

Corruption in the government. NO. Never would have thought.
Speaking from personal experience the laws are made for people to break consistently for more people to get arrested and pay more fines. Yet nothing changes. They do not fix the root of the problem. Even if the answer is within hands reach.

okay first of all... buzzkill

second... 2.8 mil sounds like enough to get me to do some ass hole shit to, but that's still pretty fucked up.

Ah, capitalism.

police aren't as big of an issues compared to judges

This is some sick shit, but this is the world we live in. The amount of money you make almost always directly shows how corruptible you are. 'Law' in this world is an absolute corrupt to the core joke on all of us.

Profit is the name of the game, and people are ALWAYS going to fuck each other over for the all mighty dollar.

People are waking up to the way things are, and not the way we would like them to be.

This is soooo f-ed up!!!

Interesting that the story only mentions the judges pleading guilty. Obviously, if they were bribed, somebody bribed them. And just as obviously, if the judges took 2.6 million in bribes, then it was worth a lot more to the bribers. When will THEY be charged?

Man, the juvenile justice system has some serious problems. This is just a symptom of the problem at large.

people are scum, plain and simple.

Ironically enough, my home state of New Jersey has one of the least corrupt judicial systems in the country. We don't elect our Judges here, unlike every other state in the nation.

Abuse of judicial power in potentially 5,000 cases and they got a deal for seven years? Um, what!?

This is such a terrible shame come on, how is this legal. For that matter you can bet your ass that this is going on in other courts as well, adult and juvenile.

prison industrial complex at work we're all just a bottom line to some higher force

This is why it is a bad idea to privatize certain industries. Corporations exist to make money, and they will do anything they think they can get away with to do it.

this is perfect, it teaches youngsters that the judicial system will screw them no matter what.

we should be paying to keep kids in school, not in prison

-1 for sensational headline

one more reason not to trust the goverment

yea thers alot of money in prisons even for the young. this is just so corrupt i really hope this story dosent just disapear.

This is very sad. These judges didn't have good judgement sktills when it comes to right and wrong. Of course the youth should have counsel present as well as CPS. CPS is a joke though. I worked with them at a facility in west Texas near Lubbock. CPS would often send these kids back to the abussive parents or guardians, or shuffle them in and out of abussive foster homes. The just shuffled them around all the time to get them out of their hair tempararily. That whole system needs an overhaul.

Privatized prisons make me ILL!!! Any business that makes profit off of caging human beings should be outlawed!!!

More prisoners equals more money. SICK SICK SICK

I smell an ass kicking

wtf?! this is horrible.. they should be trying to build a better future through the kids, not contributing to their failure. how is this world supposed to solve it's problems when the greedy system is stopping the kids from getting a good education??
