George Monbiot writes on Pennsylvania juvenile justice scandal



This blog's favourite scandal has been taken up by Monbiot in Dissident Voice:

The corrupt judges were paid by the private prisons not only to increase the number of child convicts but also to shut down a competing prison run by the public sector.

Taking bribes to bang up kids might be novel; shutting public facilities to help private companies happens — on both sides of the water — all the time.
