The bill of information, to which both judges have already agreed to plead guilty and serve more than seven years in federal prison, describes, inter alia, a conspiracy among the judges and at least two other unnamed parties to conceal $2.6 million in payments to the judges from owners of juvenile correctional facilities, in exchange for referring children who appeared before Judge Ciavarella to these juvenile correctional facilities.

With utter disdain for the rule of law, defendants Mark A. Ciavarella, Jr.
and Michael T. Conahan, in combination and conspiracy with other
defendants named herein, have collectively perpetrated, through their acts
and omissions, what ranks as one of the largest and most serious violations
of children’s rights in the history of the American legal system. Both in its
duration, spanning approximately five years between 2003 and 2008 – and
its magnitude, inflicting damage on the lives of thousands of children and
their families – the scope of defendants’ unlawful scheme is profoundly
shocking. In choosing to treat children as commodities that could be traded
for cash, the defendants have placed an indelible stain on the Luzerne
County juvenile justice system.

This says it aptly:

What really sucks is that the criminals will be sent to a Fed Country Club prison, with a far more comfortable time spent in incarceration than any of the teens that they railroaded into "treatment".

Here's to hoping they get assfucked repeatedly, and contract AIDS from it.

Quote from: "Jerry Lynott of The Times Leader"
"Do you remember my son? Do you remember my son? He was an all-star wrestler and he’s gone. He shot himself in the heart," she yelled at Ciavarella whose back was turned to her outside the courthouse. "You scumbag, you ruined my (expletive) life." Ciavarella eventually turned to look at her as she tried to get closer to him, but said nothing.

Ciavarella committed her 17-year-old son to 30 days in the PA Child Care juvenile detention center in Pittston Township in 2003 and then to a boot camp for four months.

But his dealings with the judge continued even though he was no longer a juvenile. Kenzakoski, who wrestled at Coughlin High School, Wilkes-Barre, did not get the athletic scholarship his mother expected him to receive. He developed anger issues from his detention and as an adult was charged, tried and convicted for aggravated assault. He was 23 when he shot himself last June.

"My son was my life. That's all I had. Now it's gone," she said in her interview.

Sandy Fonzo of Wilkes-Barre screamed and cursed at Ciavarella as he stood outside the federal courthouse in Scranton after a jury convicted him on 12 of 39 charges Friday afternoon.
