FILE - This Feb. 6, 2009 file photo shows the privately owned PA Child Care youth detention center in Pittston, Pa. Prosecutors allege that Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella and a second jurist, Michael Conahan, took millions in kickbacks in return for guaranteeing the placement of juvenile offenders into youth lockups run by PA Child Care LLC and a sister company, Western PA Child Care LLC. The film "Kids for Cash" set to open explores the scandal that entangled thousands of children in Pennsylvania's juvenile court system and sent two former judges to prison. Ciavarella is serving a 28-year sentence and fellow ex-judge Conahan 17 years for taking $2.6 million from companies looking to build and fill a youth detention center for Luzerne County.
