Title: 2 US Judges Plead guilty to selling children to private prisons!

&feature=share

this is unreal. one of the kids was jailed for eleven months for writing a parody regarding a teacher. A CHILD, put into forced labor at the cost of the parents, for a fucking cartoon.

these judges should be jailed for the total amount that they put the kids away for and the judges and companies involved should fund these kids fucked up futures.

Profit motive.  Unbridled capitalism at its finest.

I had heard about this case before.  This video fills in a lot of details.  Thanks.

Private prisons?  Amazing.  I don't have any problem with trying to extract some value or utility out of prisoners, but putting that in the hands of a private company just seems like a huge mistake and corruption waiting to happen.
