SCRANTON, Pa. - A former juvenile court judge was convicted Friday of racketeering in a case that accused him of sending youth offenders to for-profit detention centers in exchange for millions of dollars in illicit payments from the builder and owner of the lockups.
OK, 'racketeering' and 'kickbacks,' sounds bad enough, but I think 'human trafficking,' if not 'slave-trading,' are more accurate descriptions of what this [
