2025 plan to close LA County juvenile halls and replace with "healing centers" stalls due to funding, opposition, and consensus issues.

Four years ago, the Board of Supervisors backed a reform package investing in a new Department of Youth Development. However, progress has been slow due to funding issues, community opposition, and lack of consensus on alternative detention models.
