Two troubled Los Angeles County juvenile halls could face closure after state regulators issued a notice of “facility unsuitability” last month.

In the Feb. 16 notice, the California Board of State and Community Corrections determined the Barry J. Nidorf Secure Youth Treatment Facility and the Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall both “unsuitable” citing concerns over staffing shortages and improper use-of-force training, among other issues.
