California's Attorney General demands reforms in LA County juvenile halls due to safety and staffing issues.

California's Attorney General is seeking a court order to force Los Angeles County to implement significant reforms in its juvenile halls due to ongoing issues with understaffing and safety. The reforms aim to improve staffing levels, install more cameras, and introduce an electronic system for tracking activities. An independent monitor will oversee changes, including hiring an ombudsman to handle youth grievances and reviewing the use of force. The move follows reports of non-compliance and deteriorating conditions at the facilities.
