Mark Ciavarella Jr., Kids for Cash Scandal
Former Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. was sentenced to nearly 30 years in prison for his role in the "Kids for Cash" scandal. He was convicted of accepting over $1 million in kickbacks from a private prison developer in exchange for incarcerating thousands of juveniles. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned 4,000 convictions after finding Ciavarella violated the constitutional rights of children as young as ten.
