The original court records for juveniles who were sent to Luzerne County detention facilities in the “kids-for-cash” scandal will stay closed, a federal judge ruled this week.

Those records were expunged in the wake of the scandal that sent two former judges to jail. The detention facilities Mid-Atlantic Youth Services, PA Child Care and Western PA Child Care asked the court to allow them to show the records to sanctioned parties in an informal setting rather than through an expensive deposition process.
