Nice! It feels like a little justice has been served, though taxpayers will have to support this schmuck till the day he dies.

Common Pleas Judge Mark A. Ciaverella of Luzerne Co., Pa., in one of the more shameful displays of judicial digression, got lucrative kickbacks from private juvenile detention centers after sending scores of children there, some who should have not been incarcerated.

On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Edwin M. Kosik II in Scranton, Pa., sentenced Ciaverella to 28 years in prison in the “kids-for-cash” scandal and ordered him to pay about $1.2 million in restitution. He also ordered him off to prison immediately.

Or something close to it. One of the kids he sentenced died while incarcerated. If I recall correctly, it was suicide.

Flip remark on my part.

You are so right, a form of justice.

I'd much rather see the "justice" Edmund Dantes doled out on his jailer.

His sentence should be the sum of all the kids' sentences.

Stealing the freedom/youth from a young kid for money.... May they hit that judge so hard, so frequently, that he needs a colostomy.

The Judge that sentenced him must have got some good old fashioned personal satisfaction out of that one.

I wish we could see some justice from all those reaping kickbacks from social services destruction...I would like to start with the so called doctors who have sentenced children to medically induced prison cells.

I'll say.


Ciavarella and his co-defendant, Judge Michael Conahan, were charged in the scandal in 2009. They ended up entering a guilty plea, but Judge Kosik rejected it because the defendants did not appear to accept responsibility for their conduct. Ciavarella’s sentence on Thursday was about four times greater than what he would have gotten under his plea.

he should be killed, no real other option. Just shoot him in the middle of the street, send the message.

It probably wasn't justice. He probably back crossed some business partner.

Crooked judge in prison? Even the pedophiles will be kicking his ass.
