into both juvenile halls.
At the board’s May 23 meeting, BSCC Chair Linda Penner expressed optimism the language would stay in the budget.Advocates say its unlikely that the Los Angeles County Probation Department, already scrambling to relocate juvenile hall populations before the end of next month, could correct the problems identified at Nidorf in time, but that the BSCC’s process, which can take months, may drag on long enough that the county could still avoid another closure.
“With the number of public interest law firms that are watching this, there’s no way that this gets ignored as it has been over the last several years,” he said. AB 505, a bill passed in the Assembly on May 25, would shift the BSCC’s oversight over juvenile halls — and potentially SYTFs — to the Office of Youth and Community Restoration by January 2025. Proponents, who have accused the BSCC of shirking away from dealing with problematic juvenile halls, say the shift would allow the state to more quickly address non-compliant facilities and shift to implementing a “health-based approach to youth justice.
