L.A. County supervisors approved a ban on the use of pepper spray within certain units of the Central Juvenile Hall, three years after a wider ban went unheeded
Nearly four years ago, Los Angeles County supervisors voted to stop probation officers from using pepper spray at juvenile facilities, likening its use to an “assault” — only to see the ban go unheeded.
All five supervisors grilled Chief Probation Officer Adolfo Gonzales on why the 2019 ban had not been enforced. Solis said she was “saddened,” Supervisor Holly Mitchell called the lack of movement “frustrating,” and Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who co-authored the motion, called it “unacceptable.” The oversight report found that some units within Central were disproportionately sprayed: those that house girls and youth with developmental disabilities.
“I would put your training unit on notice that this motion is a direct result of their failure to do their job,” said Supervisor Kathryn Barger.“We mean business,” Solis, whose district includes Central Juvenile Hall, said in an interview. “That’s what this motion is about.”
