Former Pennsylvania Judge Mark Ciavarella Jr was sentenced yesterday to 28 years in federal prison, according to the SF Chronicle, for taking a $1 million bribe from the builder of juvenile detention centers in a case known as "kids for cash." The scandal has forced the state's high court to toss out four thousand juvenile convictions. The sentence is essentially a life sentence for Ciaverella, who is 61 (assuming he serves the entire term).
