Hundreds of youths sentenced to private detention centers were granted a clean slate Thursday, set free with clean records. They had been sent there by two corrupt Pennsylvania judges who had received millions of dollars in illegal kickbacks from those same private prisons. The judges each got 87 months in federal prison. How could we have allowed this happen? Never forget that any juvenile accused of criminal wrongdoing has constitutional rights to a fair trial before an impartial tribunal.
