A revealing look at a scandal that resulted in the conviction of two Pennsylvania judges for accepting payments in return for populating a for-profit juvenile detention center. Many of the children had committed minor offenses and had little or no legal representation. The consequences of privatizing prisons are discussed. (LJ 6/15/15)
