On Monday, a federal judge officially approved a settlement between businessman Mark Powell and people who had been sentenced to juvenile detention as children by judge Mark Ciavarella. The settlement stipulates that Powell, who paid Ciavarella to sentence kids to Juvenile detention facilities he owned, will pay $4.75 million.
