This story makes me madder than Hell. Especially, reading the part where the victims will probably never see any compensation! Their lives matter! The victims that survived their ordeals will probably need treatment for PTSD and other ills , all because of greed!

I'm glad they are being held responsible for their actions. They also need very long prison sentences and the loss of their law licenses.

SSgt Ray Stone no amount of money can make up for the loss of their childhood.
..."Another victim described how he shook uncontrollably during a routine traffic stop — a consequence of the traumatizing impact of his childhood detention — and had to show his mental health records in court to “explain why my behavior was so erratic.”

Several of the childhood victims who were part of the lawsuit when it began in 2009 have since died from overdoses or suicide, Conner said.

To calculate compensatory damages, the judge decided each plaintiff was entitled to a base rate of $1,000 for each day of wrongful detention, and adjusted that amount based on the circumstances of each case. Substantial punitive damages were warranted because the disgraced judges inflicted “unspeakable physical and emotional trauma” on children and adolescents, Conner wrote.

The damages award only covers plaintiffs who chose to participate in process.

Other major figures in the case settled years ago, including the builder and the owner of the private lockups and their companies, in payouts totaling about $25 million."
