View Full Version : Kids for cash movie
http://kidsforcashthemovie.com/
Some of you may remember the scandal in Pennsylvania a few years ago where a judge was found to be taking kickbacks from a privately-owned juvenile jail. Now there's a movie abou it.
Yet another reason why privitization has no place in common public services like this.
I'm embarrassed to say this film and scandal took place in my living area.
There were bad guys at work here. Its sad and shameful and we should never tolerate such behavior. But its a stretch to condemn all public-private alliance based on that (or any other single) example.

It is important to recognize, though, that usually the motivations of the private side of that alliance (making money) have nothing to do and can often run contrary to the intent of that alliance (although all too often the public side is also primarily motivated by making money as well). Which is why there should be a good deal of oversight and transparency in all of this. Bad people will do bad stuff - the intolerable thing was that it went on for 10 years before it came to light.
