Hahn Supports Receivership of LA County Juvenile Halls

Los Angeles, CA — Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn issued the following statement in support of California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s request to place Los Angeles County juvenile halls into receivership:

“I wholeheartedly support receivership of our juvenile halls. We have spent years trying to improve conditions, exhausted every tool at the County level, and still, we are failing these young people. I stand ready to do everything I can to help receivership succeed and I urge our county leadership, our Chief Probation Officer, and our county lawyers to stay at the table to shape a process that helps ensure the kids who are not only in our custody but are in our care get the help and support they need.”

Supervisor Janice Hahn represents the Fourth District which includes Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall.
