Two Common Pleas Court judges from Wilkes-Barre, PA pled guilty to multiple counts of corruption. One of the judges' brother-in-law operates a private youth placement facility, and the two judges for a couple of years were receiving kickbacks for placing juvenile offenders in the camp. They made a fortune.

Juvenile probation officers and the D.A.'s office many times would recommend that specific youths not be placed, but the judges nonetheless would place a 13 year old first-time misdemeanor offender in wilderness camp for 90 days. Those parents, not to mention the kids, must be seething.
