SANTA CLARITA, Calif.—Santa Clarita city officials and residents said on April 18 they are filing a legal challenge to Los Angeles County’s plan to house juvenile offenders at a probation camp in the city, saying the facility would endanger the community.
The legal action stems from a hotly contested vote taken by the county Board of Supervisors in mid-March, in which it selected three probation camps to house and provide rehabilitative services for juvenile offenders who would ordinarily be sent to state youth prisons.
