funny, im watching "Capitalism: a true love story" and just happened across this article on this awesome judge:

(Reuters) - A former Pennsylvania juvenile court judge was sentenced on Thursday to 28 years in prison for accepting payment to send juveniles to a for-profit detention facility in a scandal dubbed "kids for cash,".

Former Luzerne County Juvenile Court Judge Mark Ciavarella, 61, accepted nearly $1 million from a developer who built the detention facility, prosecutors said.

I have to say that the for-profit prison is an awful idea. As if there was any shortage of criminals as it is.
