LA County Probation Announces Relocation of Youth to Support Juvenile Facility Readiness

As part of its efforts to implement the Los Padrinos Depopulation Plan and modernize its juvenile facilities, the Los Angeles County Probation Department is relocating youth and staff from Camp Paige to Camps Afflerbaugh and Rockey. These camps are in close proximity to Paige, with Afflerbaugh being in the same complex. This move will enable critical infrastructure improvements at Camp Paige while ensuring continuity of care. Staff will also be reassigned to the other camps.

There are currently 15 youth housed at the facility. Visiting schedules will remain unchanged, and all parents and guardians will be individually notified by facility staff. Last Friday, May 16, Judge Espinoza in LA County’s Superior Court, approved the Department’s Los Padrinos depopulation plan, which focuses on rehousing youth to existing youth facilities that better suit their individual needs. The Department remains focused on safety, service continuity, and long-term system reform, and is working with partners to operationalize and implement the plan.
