Wellllllllll… google “cash for kids.”

Directly bribing judges to convict more children is actually the smaller problem. The bigger problem is the sickening amount of money the prison industry pours into politics. Gotta keep people scared and “tough on crime,” can’t let the putting-humans-in-cages business dry up!
