A corrupt former Pennsylvania judge convicted of funneling juveniles to for-profit detention facilities in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks had his lengthy prison sentence commuted Thursday by President Biden.
Former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan, the jurist at the center of the so-called “Kids-for-Cash” scandal, was among 1,499 commutations the 82-year-old lame-duck president granted in the largest presidential act of clemency on a single day in modern history, according to the White House.
Conahan, 72, pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges for his role in the scheme and was sentenced to 17½ years in prison in 2011.
He was released to home confinement in Florida at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2020.
At the time of Conahan’s sentencing, the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania described the judicial scandal as “the worst in Pennsylvania’s history.” Biden simply sees him as someone who needs his sentence commuted.
More than 2,500 children between 2003 and 2008 were potentially given disproportionate sentences by Conahan and Ciavarella in order to populate the private detention centers paying them the kickbacks, investigators believe. Does it get any sicker?
Biden was 100% fine with young children being raped and even murdered as they were herded into the U.S. so that the Democrats could fatten up their present and future voter base. The fact that many young lives were lost and others damaged beyond repair was of little or no importance to the Biden regime. Cutting this sick twisted judge a deal just seems so right for this president.RIP Ryne Sandberg.
Re: Biden commutes sentence of cash for kids Judge.
Imagine that you're a phenomenally corrupt judge getting huge kickbacks for sentencing kids to long stays in your buddy's for-profit prison. The State ignores it, but eventually the Feds bust both of you. Your pal gets 28 years. But YOU only get 11 years of Minimum Security, reduced to House Arrest, and then commuted.
