Kids for Cash Scandal, Judge Mark Ciavarella
John C. Dvorak highlights a local Pennsylvania story where a judge was sentenced to 28 years in prison for taking bribes to send children to private detention centers. The hosts condemn the "kids for cash" scheme as a form of slave labor and criticize the national media for not giving the scandal more attention.

The program, a partnership with the Department of Juvenile Justice, tracks offenders every 10 seconds and alerts authorities if they leave permitted zones.
