The "kids for cash" scandal unfolded in 2008 over judicial kickbacks at the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Two judges, President Judge Mark Ciavarella (who served as juvenile court judge from 1996 to 2008) and Senior Judge Michael Conahan (who served as President Judge from 2003 to 2007), were convicted of accepting money from Robert Mericle, builder of two private, for-profit youth centers for the detention of juveniles, in return for contracting with the facilities and imposing harsh adjudications on juveniles brought before their courts to increase the number of residents in the centers.[1][2]

Ciavarella disposed a substantial number of children to extended stays in youth centers for a variety of offenses as trivial as mocking a principal on MySpace, trespassing in a vacant building, and shoplifting DVDs from Wal-Mart.[3] Ciavarella and Conahan pleaded guilty on February 13, 2009, pursuant to a plea agreement, to federal charges of honest services fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States (failing to report income to the Internal Revenue Service, known as tax evasion) in connection with receiving $2.6 million in payments from managers at PA Child Care in Pittston Township and its sister company Western PA Child Care in Butler County.[4][5] The plea agreement was later voided by a federal judge, who was dissatisfied with the post-plea conduct of the defendants, and the two judges charged subsequently withdrew their guilty pleas, raising the possibility of criminal trials.[6]

A federal grand jury in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania returned a 48-count indictment[7] against Ciavarella and Conahan for racketeering, fraud, money laundering, extortion, bribery, and federal tax violations on September 9, 2009.[8][9] Conahan entered a revised guilty plea to one count of racketeering conspiracy in July 2010.[10] Civarella opted to go to trial,and was convicted February 18, 2011 on 12 of the 39 counts he faced.[11][12]

Following the original plea agreement, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered an investigation of the cases handled by the judges and following its outcome quickly overturned several hundred adjudications of delinquency in Luzerne County.[13] The Juvenile Law Center filed a class action lawsuit against the judges and numerous other parties, and the state legislature created a commission to investigate the wide-ranging juvenile justice problems in the county.[14][15] The Center has maintained a list of related court documents.[16]
