Bernie Sanders on the Judicial Corruption, Bankster, and Atty Fine issues. I contacted Judicial Reform activists around the country.

The vast majority of the victims are blacks and Latinos, and about a third of them were estimated to have been still juveniles at the time of their false imprisonment.
