Two judges admitted that they got 2.6 million bucks from a private jail system to sentence kids to jail time. One 14 yr old girl wrote a lampooning story on face book about her asst. principal. She spent 11 months in jail.
The judges pushed them to sign paper work that rejected having a lawyer at their trial. They went in thinking ,"what kind of trouble can I be in for such an infraction’ ,so went in unrepresented. Shop lifting, fights ,did not matter. They got jail time.
I have always objected to private prisons. This certainly reinforces my viewpoint. These judges may not be the only ones. They did great harm to these kids lives for money. I bet they get off pretty clean.
