Not that hard. Small time corruption might not be so pervasive, but there are judges who take bribes to send kids to private jails.
- meowface 11y agoThere is corruption all over the world, including in the US, yes. But the prevalence and severity of it in the US is much lower than in countries like India and Russia. There are some unethical, crooked judges in the US, but there are probably 10x as many in India.
