Video Summary
This video is just one of many examples of corruption in the corrections system. The clip talks about a boy, who is now 14, that committed a crime that may have deserved community service that got more than what he and his mother bargained for. The boy took his mother's car joy riding, and hit a barrier. No one was hurt and no major damage was done, but the mother wanted to teach her boy a lesson so she filed a police report, which would also cover her insurance claim. The boy was sentenced to 2 years in prison, the judge didn't even bother to go over his record or read him what he had fully done wrong. This boy was one of many victims of this judge to be wrongfully convicted of petty crimes. The judge was being paid money to send these kids to juvenile detention. If this is seen in juvenile cases, they are also going to prevalent in adult cases.
