Re: [Marxism] 2 Pa. Judges Admit Jailing Kids For Cash - Privatisationof the injustice system ...

["Joaquin Bustelo" <jbustelo@xxxxxxxxx>]

And since I'm on a Joaquín the father kick, let me add this. 

"(CBS/ AP) Two Pennsylvania judges charged with taking millions of dollars
in kickbacks to send youth offenders to privately run detention centers
pleaded guilty to fraud Thursday in one of the most stunning cases of
judicial corruption on record. "

The viciously anti-child stance of U.S. society is what made this possible.
These worthies shut down the county juvenile incarceration operation,
contracted the private one, and then sent young people to these
privately-run prisons and two-and-a-half times the rate of the *average* of
Pennsylvania juvenile cases. And though we are not offered this figure, we
can be sure the period of incarceration was also longer in the case of these
two judicial entrepreneurs.

Let me just say, I am, in principle, opposed to the death penalty. And
should there be a socialist revolution tomorrow, I will work for its
abolition and hope to accomplish it just AFTER these two --and their
paymasters-- get sent to meet their maker. And not one second before.

A firing squad for fraud? Yes, if it is the right fraud. And you can be sure
that this involved selective repression against Blacks and Latinos, i.e.,
genocidal racial discrimination, which IS a crime against humanity deserving
of the harshest punishment. 

Don't tell me it isn't politically correct. I know that. But it IS the way I
feel.

Joaquin
