Editorial: Shut down L.A.'s broken juvenile probation. Overhaul proposals are too little, too late (via latimesopinion )
this month to prevent the state-ordered closure of L.A. County’s two juvenile halls was far too little and probably came far too late., the California Board of State and Community Corrections notified the county’s interim chief probation officer Thursday that it will decide on April 13 whether to order the closure of the Barry J.
If they fail, new secure accommodations would have to be found for nearly 400 youths accused of serious crimes. And it is almost certain they will fail to repair this catastrophe in fewer than three weeks. Most of those juveniles suffer from some form of mental illness or deep trauma. Because of chaotic conditions at the detention facilities, few of the youths have had the benefit of schooling or therapy the county is required to provide during their time awaiting resolution of their cases or completion of their sentences.
The state board would be doing no one any favors by keeping the facilities open. They must close, and safe and suitable accommodations for the juveniles must be found. The L.A. supervisors, Probation Department management and a workforce crippled by employees who refuse to come to work have shown repeatedly that they are not up to the task of properly housing and caring for the young offenders in their charge.Their failure has alarmed their counterparts around the state.
