Democrats are extremely corrupt: wolves in sheep's clothing. Look at us we are "liberal". A bunch of liars.

You are connecting dots that have nothing to do with each other.
Government hires private companies to do business all the time (road construction, etc). That does not mean it has to be corrupt. Prisons are no different.
I can see how I wasn't clear, so I shall add an additional detail in order to clarify my earlier remark:

I know that privatization is not inherently evil, we Americans benefit from it every day. But bribery is illegal for very good reasons, and any court worth it's weight (as in, ethical) will definitely see bribery in the form of backdoor kickbacks in exchange for destroying the lives of kids and their families.
Not only was the Democratic Judge completely guilty of corruption in the case of the taking money for kids, he was also in violation of campaign rules concerning donations to the Democratic Party during his re-election campaign:
Maybe the Luzerne County Democratic Committee can explain these donations from former Judge Mark Ciavarella to their party during his retention campaign. Sitting judges should not be making political donations according to the judicial cannons.
But according to a couple posters here...it's all the Right's fault!
This is what happens when business enterprise and government try a partnership. We get frankenstien government and welfare queen corporations. The core mission of one or both seem to get corrupted/ undermined. We need to cut the cord of lobbyist money across the board. Campaigns can be financed through general funds for debates/ print interviews, and petitioning the law can be done online with transparency. No paper (currency or letter campaigns) necessary.
