美国总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）对因“儿童换现金”（Kids for Cash）丑闻而被定罪的前宾夕法尼亚州法官迈克尔·科纳汉（Michael Conahan）进行了减刑，这是影响近1500名囚犯的大规模宽大处理行动的一部分。 President Joe Biden commuted the sentence of Michael Conahan, a former Pennsylvania judge convicted in the "Kids for Cash" scandal, as part of a mass clemency action affecting nearly 1,500 inmates. 科纳汉和共同法官马克·恰瓦雷拉 （Mark Ciavarella） 因将青少年送往营利性拘留中心以换取回扣而被判刑。 Conahan and co-judge Mark Ciavarella were sentenced for sending juveniles to for-profit detention centers in exchange for kickbacks. 此举遭到了受害者家属的批评，他们认为这削弱了法官行动的严重性，其中包括一名法官的儿子在被不公正地监禁后自杀。 The move has faced criticism from victims' families, who feel it undermines the severity of the judges' actions, including one whose son committed suicide after being unjustly imprisoned. 拜登的决定反映了他对改造和第二次机会的重视。 Biden's decision reflects his emphasis on rehabilitation and second chances.
