3,000 kids. 1 judge. Millions of dollars. This riveting doc reveals the untold stories of a
My thoughts:
Former Judge Conohan currently serving seventeen years in Federal Prison, and Former Judge Ciavarella currently serving twenty eight years in Federal Prison isn't enough justice or punishment for these two! Former Judge Ciavarella incarcerated three thousand children. With kickbacks from the detention facilities.
All families need to watch this documentary, And this happened in a small town in Pennsylvania just a couple hours from where I live with my husband, my daughter who is ten and my son who is seven. This was horrifying, frightening and sad to watch. To think that petty juvenile pranks, and other actions such as hair pulling girl fight, or even a teenager cursing at an adult landed these teens and younger in a discusting, filthy Juvenile Detention Center. All at the hands of former Judge Ciavarella. As a parent, this brought goose bumps and tears to watch. No parent should have to watch their child be taking away in shackles!
These kids were tried by Judge Ciavarella and sentenced without Attorney representation. It is heart wrenching watching and listening to these young children and their parents tell their stories. One young girl tells how she pleaded please put her on house arrest, she misses her family, and she will never fight again. She spent four years before going home. Who now suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. One teen tells how he made sure there weren't any roaches before laying down.
Bids were being submitted for a new Juvenile Detention Center. To no surprise Mericle Builder (referred by Judge Ciavarella), got the bid. So Judge Conohan and Judge Ciavarella got a finders fee from Mr. Mericle of 10% of his construction cost. Which totaled 2.2 million dollars. This isn;t illegal in Real Estate, but is illegal when Judge Ciavarella didn't advice the people of judicial decisions.
This is a movie I intend to watch with other family members. And will suggest to others as well.
