That's It?

Two Pennsylvania state judges were sentenced to 7 years of prison because they took about $2.6 million in kickbacks from a private prison operator in exchange for teen convictions. More than 5,000 teenagers had their convictions vacated because of this.

Let me get this straight. Two men in positions of incredible legal power abused that power to the detriment of thousands of teenagers and they only get 7 years? Are you kidding me? It is an indescribable abuse of power. People like this need to be held to account.

By the way, are you curious how were discovered? They convicted a 17 year-old girl because she made a MySpace page to mock her assistant principle and the conviction seemed disproportionate to her parents so they asked the FBI to investigate. I wonder how many other kids got disproportionate sentences and didn't have parents who had enough influence to call it in to question. These two despots should spend longer than 7 years in prison for their abuses.
