Video: Lauryn Hill Gets 3 months in Prison ..Despite Making 11th Hour Tax Payment

2013-05-07T11:27:00.004-07:00

Singer Lauryn Hill was sentenced Monday to three months in prison and an additional three months in home confinement for failing to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings.

ABC news reports that Hill, a 37-year-old South Orange resident, pleaded guilty last year in the case.

During a statement to the judge Monday, Hill explained she had always meant to pay the taxes but was unable to during a period of time when she dropped out of the music business, ( a defense she wrote last year in a long post online).

SMH: Judge Convicted of Selling Kids to the Prison System (“Kids for Cash” Program)

2013-05-05T08:45:00.000-07:00

This is crazy...

There are some who are not entirely convinced of the evils that may come out of the prison industrial complex. This story might change your mind. A judge in Pennsylvania has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for literally exchanging young people for cash. Mark Ciavarella Jr. was convicted of accepting money in exchange for choosing to incarcerate thousands of young people into the facility of a developer who was paying him under the table.

Allgov.com details the “kids for cash” program, which revealed the depth of corruption that has led to increased incarceration rates, driven partly by the growth in private prisons seeking profits at all cost. One company, the Corrections Corporation of America, even agreed to buy the prisons from 48 states, as long as lawmakers guaranteed them 90% occupancy rates. Robert Mericle, builder of the PA and Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers is one of the other culprits.

The judge was convicted of 12 counts, including racketeering, money laundering, mail fraud and tax evasion. He is also being told to repay $1.2 million in restitution. Prosecutors reviewed all of the cases over which the judge presided, from 2003 through 2008, concluding that he had denied the constitutional rights of as many as 5,000 juveniles, some as young as 10 years old. One student was given three months in a detention center for mocking an assistant principal on his Myspace page. Cases like this make the school-to-prison pipeline all too real.

Chicago News: Judge Orders No More Tickets to Be Sold for The Congress Thearter Due to Safey Issues

2013-04-18T21:21:00.001-07:00

Here in Chicago..we all know the Congress Theater well..I know I'm not the only one who was thinking it was a little bit Raggedy and the balconies look dangerous..

Last Friday, the city listed 26 "dangerous and hazardous" building code violations in a motion calling for the venue's immediate closure. Most of those issues have been resolved, Frydland said Thursday.

Despite the city's attempt to shutter it immediately, the Congress Theater will remain open for now with limited capacity, a Cook County judge ordered Thursday.

Judge James McGing, however, ordered that no more tickets to events be sold. Another court hearing will be held after a Monday inspection.
