California's Attorney General will request court control of scandal-ridden L.A. County juvenile halls, citing years of unaddressed problems.
The decision follows consistent failures to meet court-ordered reforms, including violence, drug overdoses, and allegations of abuse.
A court-appointed official will manage operations, budgets, and staffing, replacing the L.A. County Probation Department.
This drastic action aims to prioritize the safety and well-being of the youth within these troubled facilities.
