Washington, Aug 17 (Prensa Latina) Two Pennsylvania judges who orchestrated a scheme to send children to for-profit prisons in exchange for kickbacks were ordered to pay over million to hundreds who fell victim to their crimes, CBS reported on Wednesday. In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan judges locked up a country-run juvenile detention center and accepted .8 million in illegal payments from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups.
