In just its first month of operation since reopening, L.A. County's Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall has seen a brawl and a chaotic escape attempt.
Just days after youths were moved into Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, probation officers found a gun in an area potentially accessible to youths, sources said.The incident triggered a lockdown as police searched the building for other weapons. Youths, lawyers and educational staff reported being trapped in rooms for hours with no information about what was happening.
The department declined to answer questions about how the weapon ended up in Los Padrinos. A spokesperson previously insisted the gun was in an area that could not be accessed by juveniles. But the two probation officials who’ve worked at Los Padrinos said youths often receive counseling in the type of control center where the gun was found, and one said the doors to such areas aren’t always locked.
One youth had to be wrestled into an office to stop an assault, according to the document, and others were locked in a bathroom. One youth demanded the others be set free and began counting down to zero. When the demand wasn’t met, he punched an officer in the face, the document said. Several youths got out of the building and into an outdoor recreation area, according to an internal email reviewed by The Times. One got over a back gate and made it onto the grounds of Los Amigos Golf Course, which surrounds Los Padrinos on three sides, before he was apprehended by probation officers.
Both pleaded not guilty, according to Venusse Navid, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office, who said the victim of each assault was a probation officer. Perez’s attorney did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment and Navid did not identify Hoope’s legal counsel. “A lot of times it wasn’t even spraying the kids, it was just giving the warning,” said the officer, who was not authorized to speak to the press and requested anonymity.a Board of Supervisors meeting over calls to “declare an emergency” over the conditions inside Los Padrinos, with some advocates calling for a permanent closure.
