SMH: Judge Convicted of Selling Kids to the Prison System (“Kids for Cash” Program)
This is crazy...
There are some who are not entirely convinced of the evils that may come out of the prison industrial complex. This story might change your mind. A judge in Pennsylvania has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for literally exchanging young people for cash. Mark Ciavarella Jr. was convicted of accepting money in exchange for choosing to incarcerate thousands of young people into the facility of a developer who was paying him under the table.
Allgov.com details the “kids for cash” program, which revealed the depth of corruption that has led to increased incarceration rates, driven partly by the growth in private prisons seeking profits at all cost. One company, the Corrections Corporation of America, even agreed to buy the prisons from 48 states, as long as lawmakers guaranteed them 90% occupancy rates. Robert Mericle, builder of the PA and Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers is one of the other culprits.
The judge was convicted of 12 counts, including racketeering, money laundering, mail fraud and tax evasion. He is also being told to repay $1.2 million in restitution. Prosecutors reviewed all of the cases over which the judge presided, from 2003 through 2008, concluding that he had denied the constitutional rights of as many as 5,000 juveniles, some as young as 10 years old. One student was given three months in a detention center for mocking an assistant principal on his Myspace page. Cases like this make the school-to-prison pipeline all too real.

Illinois Supreme Court Rules Against E2 Nightclub Owners In Deadly Stampede That Kill 21 People
Such a sad story...Years later this case still has NOT been settled...
CHICAGO (CBS) – The Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously reversed an appeals court decision clearing the two owners of the former E2 nightclub of indirect criminal contempt charges, filed after 21 people died in a stampede at the club in 2003.
The high court ruled an appeals court panel erred when it tossed out the convictions of Calvin Hollins and Dwain Kyles, and their two-year prison sentences.
In 2009, Kyles and Hollins were convicted of violating a Cook County Housing Court judge’s order to close the second floor of the club at 2347 S. Michigan Av., over building code violations before the deadly stampede.

Chicago City Colleges Set to Give Free College Classes to Low-Income Students
Felicia Bates hopes she soon will qualify to take free or low-cost classes at City Colleges of Chicago after the schools agreed this week to provide them to thousands of additional low-income residents who live in subsidized housing.
Bates, who lives in a women's shelter in Englewood and is finishing a GED at Kennedy-King College, is on the waiting list for a voucher.
"Once I am done I would like to take some classes to become a CNA [certified nurse assistant] or something in the health care industry since that is where are the jobs will be in the future," said the 33-year-old single mother of two sons.

Chicago Janitor Stole Laptop, Called Tech Support For Help When It Doesn't Work
A Far South Side janitorial worker charged with stealing a laptop from the U.S. EPA’s field office in Chicago was busted after allegedly calling the computer maker’s help line for assistance when he couldn’t get it to work.
Alan Baker, 35, of the 13000 block of South Houston Avenue, was on a temporary assignment at the EPA office at the time a laptop and two smartphones were stolen in December, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators figured out Baker had the laptop when he contacted the manufacturer’s help line for assistance, a release from the sheriff’s office said.
Sheriff’s police and federal investigators spoke to Baker at his home on March 25 and arrested him after finding the stolen computer and cell phones there, according to police.

Judge Orders Former Chicago Alderman To Pay $143K In Child Support
CHICAGO (STMW) — Former alderman and convicted felon Wallace Davis Jr. was sentenced to 30 months probation Friday and ordered to pay over $100,000 in child support after he admitted he was deadbeat dad to his two young daughters.
Davis fathered the girls, now 7 and 8, during a relationship he had with a registered nurse in the early 2000s.
After the couple broke up in 2005, he was ordered to pay child support for the sisters.
Davis, the owner of Wallace’s Catfish Corner on the West Side, made sporadic payments but hadn’t made any payments since 2011, according to Cook County prosecutors Diana Meyer and Karl Hofbauer.
Davis, 61, pleaded guilty to criminal failure to pay child support before Judge Dennis Porter.
Porter said Davis could be taken off probation earlier if he makes the $143,837 payments before his 30-month sentence is up.
