Los Angeles, CA — Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn issued the following statement reacting to the Board of State and Community Corrections inspection findings that found Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall and Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall out of compliance with multiple standards.
“To say I am disappointed is an understatement. We have long known what the BSCC’s expectations were and it is troubling that the department made so little progress and fell so short in meeting them. It is clear that our Probation Department has enormous challenges, from staffing to programming, but it is imperative that we bring these two facilities into compliance because the future of the youth in our care is in jeopardy. I pledge to put every available County resource behind bringing these facilities into compliance. The alternative is unacceptable.”
