Should have gotten Ole Sparky.
Wow… that is just evil.
4000 convictions overturned because of his greed…
Yep, that’s right up there.
And we all thought this sort of thing went away over 100 years ago.
All those lives destroyed.
So a 28 yr sentence means he’ll serve about 9 yrs or less? Divided by 4,000 kids would be about 1 day per kid or less. What justice.
That is part of the messed up side of trying to privitize the criminal justice system. This sucks.

Agreed. Private prisons are not a good thing. In their case, it’s always profit over justice.
He is going to need case discounts on Anal-Ese . . .
Being that he was a judge, he’ll get segregated from everyone so he won’t face any kind of reprisals…
Agreed. Buddy of mine was Asst. Warden at a CCA facility. The staff were running “fight club” with rankings and betting in the prison. I swear shit like this isn’t just in movies. Anyways he was quickly demoted and transferred so the state couldn’t investigate his involvement. Many low level staff were found guilty, but the administrators just got reshuffled. No accountability, great to be king I guess.

Reading is fundamental! This is exactly the case I was talking about!
While this case is certainly bad I think it’s subset of a problem where we try to criminalize everything in this country. You have less chance of going to jail in every other country on earth. We blow everyone else out of the water when it comes to sending people to jail.
Wasn’t there a Law and Order SVU episode about this…
Seriously though. That is just screwed up. No wonder people are losing faith in the justice system.
Wait, private prisons create conflict of interests?!? gasp
China just kills people. I could agree that a fair number of things need to be decriminalized (no jail time just fines) to make room for the people who need to stay in there longer.The system is also broke. We don’t focus on rehabilitation much at all. We just house them and let them go and are surprized when they come back despite putting them back into the same situation that got them in prision in the first place. I am not talking about being easy on the prisioners but have jobs for them to do on the inside teach them a skill, have them keep a schedule maybe learn a little pride in a hard days work.

Right on the money. Many people bemoaned Norway’s prison policies after they were publicized following Anders Breivik mass shooting incident. However, Norway’s recidivism rates are substantially lower than the U.S., as well as their current incarceration rates. Our antiquated ideas of “doing time” are only helping to keep the revolving prison door spinning merrily.
Nah, conspiracy theory stuff. That NEVER happens and all those people deserved it…
Extreme Sarcasm
“One man with courage makes a majority.”
Why would anyone think this is “conspiracy theory stuff?” The evidence is overwhelming. 
Missed the extreme sarcasm statement?
No, I actually got his point and understood the move he was making. He’s using the fact that this story is true to support the notion that various other conspiracy theories may also be true. He’s suggesting that some people would dismiss the story you linked to as a conspiracy theory when it really wasn’t – and then parodying them. I’m saying that there’s plenty of evidence for it, so that claim is wrong by definition.
