Shackled
あらすじ・解説
Here is the explosive story of the Kids for Cash scandal in Pennsylvania, a judicial justice miscarriage that sent
more than 2,500 children and teens to a for-profit detention center while two judges lined their pockets with
cash, as told by Candy J. Cooper, an award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist.
In the early 2000s, Judge Mark Ciavarella and Judge Michael Conahan of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania were
known as no-nonsense judges. Juveniles who showed up in their courtrooms faced harsh words and even
harsher sentencing. In the post-Columbine era, many people believed that was just what the county needed
to ensure its children and teens stayed on the straight and narrow path. But as more and more children faced
shocking sentences for seemingly benign crimes, and a newly built for-profit detention center filled up further
and further, a sinister pattern of abuses and bribery emerged. Through extensive research and original reporting
leading into contemporary times, award-winning journalist Candy J. Cooper tells the story of a scandal that the
Juvenile Law Center calls “one of the largest and most serious violations of children’s rights in the history of
the American legal system."
