Pennsylvania judges have been convicted for sentencing upwards of 2000 children to jail in exchange for bribes worth approximately 2.6 million. The mid-Atlantic Youth Services Corporation is a company who runs private prisons in the USA. In order for them to get funding they need to have occupants, what better reason to lobby to keep marijuana illegal then warehousing African Americans. The judges were also paid to shut down a public prison that was digging into the corporations profits.
