As the Boston Globe wrote, the story is incredible: thousands of children wrongfully sentenced to juvenile detention centers, many without legal representation and after cursory hearings, by two rogue judges in northern Pennsylvania who received millions of dollars in bribes from the private institutions owners. The story has all the elements of a truecrime legal thrillermafia connections, colorful characters, corruptionand was made into a documentary of the same title released in theaters in 2014. But the survivors of the harrowing ordeal have finally gotten some justice: in August 2022, it was ordered that the disgraced judges must pay hundreds of millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages to the victims.When it was first released, Kids for Cash brought the story to national attention, where it has stayed ever since. As the Philadelphia Inquirer pointed out, this is the worst stain on Pennsylvania, a state with more than its share of stains. . . . Ecenbarger offers a detailpacked, sickening account of the scandal and its impact. Anyone caring about courts, justice, or children should read it.
