Kids for Cash reveals the twisted and haunting realities of juvenile justice in America today. This gripping investigation follows the Pennsylvania case in which judges took cash payments for sending children to a privatised juvenile detention facility. In a shocking case that made international news, two judges were convicted of accepting millions of dollars in bribes by the owners of juvenile detention centres. William Ecenbarger, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist, now presents the first book-length account of the scandal.
William Ecenbarger was part of a Philadelphia Inquirer reporting team that was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the Three Mile Island nuclear accident. Once an international correspondent for Reader’s Digest, he has been published in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Smithsonian Magazine, Esquire, Audubon, and other leading newspapers and magazines. He is also the author of Walkin’ the Line, a travel-history narrative about the Mason-Dixon Line. He lives with his wife, a travel photographer, in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
