We also have indication of a bribed justice system via the "for profit" prison system.
Capitalism at all costs it would seem.

The Proceeds of Crime
The US and British governments have created a private prison industry which preys on human lives.

by George Monbiot

It's a staggering case; more staggering still that it has scarcely been mentioned on this side of the ocean. Last week two judges in Pennsylvania were convicted of jailing some 2,000 children in exchange for bribes from private prison companies.

The corrupt judges were paid by the private prisons not only to increase the number of child convicts but also to shut down a competing prison run by the public sector. Taking bribes to bang up kids might be novel; shutting public facilities to help private companies happens - on both sides of the water - all the time.
