The "Kids for Cash" scandal involved two Pennsylvania judges, Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan, who took kickbacks from the builder of two for-profit juvenile detention centers to send children to these facilities.
They got 17 year sentences and Biden let them out nearly immediately. Dem gov Josh Shapiro I think came out strongly against Biden actions
You can tell by the name of the repo ("taco_pardons") this isn't an act of unbiased journalism.
This is grossly incorrect. Conahan was incarcerated in 2011, and sent to home confinement in 2020 (panedemic), and the remainder of his sentence was commuted in 2024. He served 13 years of a 17.5 year sentence.
Ciavarella was not pardoned and is scheduled to be released in 2034.
