It was one of the most shocking stories of judicial corruption in American history, and now the full story of Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella is being told in a documentary film, "Kids for Cash." Ciavarella was convicted in 2011 on 12 counts of racketeering and fraud for accepting kickbacks in exchange for sentencing young people to a private, for-profit juvenile detention center.Watch the exclusive trailer premiere for 'Kids for Cash':
Ciavarella and fellow judge Michael Conahan sat on the Luzerne County Court in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and in 2002 the pair made a deal with private prison developer Robert J. Powell to fill his detention facilities with young offenders. While he publicly was fostering an image of being tough on crime, in reality he was handing out harsh sentences for minor infractions. The county had a conviction rate for young people that was ten times higher than that of the rest of Pennsylvania. All told, Ciavarella and Conahan were paid $2.6 million for their cooperation.
