A riot broke out at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey late Friday night, triggering a lockdown of the facility.Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall remained on lockdown Saturday and Los Angeles County probation officials instituted additional security measures following a riot at the facility involving 13 youths late Friday.
The remaining 12 youths have been placed in individual rooms at Los Padrinos under one-on-one supervision. No serious injuries to youth or staff were reported during the incident, and a subsequent headcount found all 273 youth at the facility present and accounted for, according to the Los Angeles County Probation Department, which runs the facility.
"Any time you move a large number of youths, especially to a new facility as we have in the last week or two, there is a potential for problems and we plan for those," Viera Rosa said. "But Friday night's disturbance was an emergency that required an immediate and strong response. I'm thankful that no youth were seriously hurt, and with the help of other law enforcement agencies, we were able to reestablish order.
