    Jailed for a MySpace parody, the student who exposed America's cash for kids scandal

    Truly awful case in the USA of corruption by Judges

    'Last month the judge involved, Mark Ciavarella, and the presiding judge of the juvenile court, Michael Conahan, pleaded guilty to having accepted $2.6m (£1.8m) from the co-owner and builder of a private detention centre where children aged from 10 to 17 were locked up.'

    - of course it could never happen here!

    Shocking behaviour. A pretty bad example of public private partnership!
    Yeah, good job it wasn't here.
