Michael Conahan was convicted of accepting $2.8 million for jailing more than 2,300 children, some as young as eight.

"I'm not sure you should assume I'm not corrupt." ~Joe Biden

"I went to the big guys for the money. I was ready to prostitute myself in the manner in which I talk about it, but what happened was they said, 'Come back when you're 40, son.' So I had to go out, I had to go out to a number of small contributors." ~Joe Biden, during his first run for U.S. Senate

Victims of a former Pennsylvania judge convicted in the so-called kids-for-cash scandal are outraged by Joe Biden's decision to grant him clemency.

In 2011, Michael Conahan was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison after he and another judge, Mark Ciavarella, were found guilty of accepting $2.8 million in illegal payments in exchange for sending more than 2,300 children – including some as young as eight years old – to private juvenile detention centers.

Conahan was released from prison in 2020 due to Covid-19 and placed on house arrest, which had been scheduled to end in 2026.

Conahan's sentence was one of about 1,500 the U.S. president commuted – or shortened – on Thursday while also pardoning 39 Americans who had been convicted of non-violent crimes.

In response to the commutation granted to Conahan by Biden, the mother of a boy sent to jail at age 17 before later dying by suicide told the Citizens' Voice: "I am shocked and I am hurt."

"Conahan's actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son's death is a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power," Sandy Fonzo said to the outlet. "This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer. Right now I am processing and doing the best I can to cope with the pain that this has brought back."

Similarly, Amanda Lorah, who at age 14 was wrongfully imprisoned as part of the scheme, told WBRE: "It's a big slap in the face for us once again.

"We had… time taken away from us. We had no one to talk to, but now we're talking about the president of the United States to do this. What about all of us?"

The Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, also condemned Biden's decision, telling reporters that his fellow Democrat "got it absolutely wrong", the Pennsylvania Capital-Star reported.
