LA County defies order to close Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, files last-minute appeal
Los Angeles County is refusing to close Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in defiance of state law, filing a Hail Mary appeal alleging it failed recent inspections only because of a state oversight board’s “misappropriation and capricious enforcement” of regulations governing youth detention.
The last-ditch effort came on the final day of a 60-day countdown requiring L.A. County to either fix its understaffing or to empty its largest juvenile hall, which houses about 260 youth accused of crimes and awaiting their day in court.
