"President Joe Biden has faced criticism from victims of the so-called "Kids for Cash" scandal for commuting the sentence of a Pennsylvania judge involved in the scheme.

Conahan was jailed alongside fellow Democrat judge Mark Ciavarella for sending thousands of children to privately run juvenile centers with disproportionate sentences in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks. Conahan was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison in 2011 after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy.
