A state board that oversees correctional facilities decided Thursday to allow Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey to continue to house incarcerated young people.
The move comes just days before a deadline for the department to move some 300 incarcerated youths out of the facility if it could not meet the requirements. “Under the Board of Supervisor’s direction, the Probation Department has made great strides addressing deficiencies at facilities by increasing and stabilizing staff levels, providing hundreds of hours of additional training, and working closely with BSCC staff to tighten procedures and protocols,” Viera Rosa said.
Sherikar said many Probation Department violations — including safety checks, lack of programming and more — at Los Padrinos stem from staffing issues: officers calling out of work and chronic personnel shortages. Sherikar said the department does not seem to have a permanent fix for the staffing issues and has used tactics like pulling field officers into the juvenile facilities to come into “paperwork compliance.
Kent Mendoza, associate policy director with the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, said he had spent time at Los Padrinos over a decade ago. He said he is concerned that young people held at the facility still aren’t getting enough vocational training.
