Juvenile halls failing to comply with U.S. order
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Attempts to improve conditions at the county’s juvenile halls made little progress last month while problems in at least two areas actually worsened, according to a report issued Friday.
The report by the county auditor-controller found that probation officials failed to make headway in complying with 25 of 52 improvements called for by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The report noted reduced compliance in youth hygiene and counseling services.
