Book excerpt: Kids for Cash reveals the twisted and haunting realities of juvenile justice in America today. This gripping investigation follows the Pennsylvania case in which judges took cash payments for sending children to a privatised juvenile detention facility. In a shocking case that made international news, two judges were convicted of accepting millions of dollars in bribes by the owners of juvenile detention centres. William Ecenbarger, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist, now presents the first book-length account of the scandal.
