US judges tragic kickback greed exposes prison system profiteering

Jan 28, 2012 - I'm normally completely against justice of any kind being handed out by prisoners for a few reasons but this really seems to deserve it. The nature of the crime, the motive, the age of the victims, the position of trust and authority the judges had. Hopefully there will be some of the most poetic justice ever seen dispensed.

Jan 29, 2012 - Well said! Democracy is a disguise of the corruption. All American politicians are corrupted to the core! They take money from the rich and speak for the rich. Ordinary Americans become the victims of this scandal. It is laughable for the US to forcefully spread this corrupted democracy to the world!

Mar 11, 2012 - One judge was sentenced to 28 years in August 2011.See npr.org with the following url-append:blogs/thetwo-way/2011/08/11/139536686/pa-judge-sentenced-to-28-years-in-massive-juvenile-justice-bribery-scandal

Mar 12, 2012 - One judge took a deal for 20 years, Ciavarella arrogantly decided to plead not guilty - and was given 28 years. He'll be 85 at his earliest possible release date for good behavior.US federal sentences do not have parole so outside of the above chance for early release, he'll serve every day of those 28 years.His original plea deal would have given him 7 years but was refused by the presiding judge because of his perceived lack of remorse.All it took was one good man to do what's right.

May 1, 2012 - Our Justice System is very similar to our health care system. It's like when you are forced to pay ten dollars for a Tylenol in a hospital similar to being forced to pay 600 dollars for a blood test because you refused to blow for a DUI test. Everything in this country is about the top 2% stealing hard earned money. How else do you think two hundred families has accumulated 60% of the countries wealth.

Ziru322 Says:

May 1, 2012 - Rich people don't get charged, and if they do it's a person that is struggling to survive that will pay for it. Example rich person in charge of a company gets charged with something that rich person will then fire a person that is working for them and take away their pensions to pay for the crime the rich person commited. The rich person will then blame poor people for his crime and say his company is struggling because etc, etc, and will then receive free money from the government.

May 11, 2012 - Except that in America, the burden of proof does not lie on the accused, but on the prosecution. Any judge who ever forgets or ignores that, should be removed from the bench. Immediately and permanently.

William Lindquist Says:

May 13, 2012 - This what privatization means...so when you hear about privatizing schools, utilities, Post office and so on...this is giving the ultra rich a chance to make big money at the expense of the rest of us...GOP wants to privatize social security, medicare, health insurance..more so than it already is...hospitals..we all need to pay attention as a lot of bad things are getting ready to happen if the GOP take control!!!!

May 15, 2012 - Just look at the courts all over WI. They are corrupt in almost all 72 counties of the state. When ever Walker wants one of his ridiculous BS passed into law he goes to WAUKESHA COUNTY EVERY TIME. That is exactly where my Grandson can't catch a break. The judge is making most questionable decisions. Would not release him to my custody, instead she put him in Huber.

May 15, 2012 - Privateering is the destruction of the capacity of gov't to carry out its moral missions, together w/ privatization of gov't function with no public accountability & enrichment @ public's expense. Privateering a means of transferring wealth from ordinary taxpayers to wealthy investors, making the wealthy much more wealthy, while robbing ordinary people of the security and opportunity that gov't should supply. Privateering grand scheme/agenda of GOP, and enabler of the privatization of America
