About Barry J. Nidorf “Sylmar” Juvenile Hall

It is difficult to pick which Los Angeles juvenile hall failed kids the most, but if our lawyers had to choose, it would be Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall.

Our attorneys are hearing from more survivors of sexual abuse at Los Padrinos than from any other LA County juvenile detention center. That volume of calls reflects what the lawsuits now make clear: Los Padrinos was one of the worst facilities in the system when it came to protecting children from sexual abuse.

Survivors are filing Los Padrinos juvenile hall lawsuits that seek both accountability and a fair settlement amount.  This page explains how the litigation works, what the expected settlement payouts may look like, and why Los Padrinos has become the focus of so many claims. For victims, these cases are about getting the settlement compensation they more than deserve. But they are also about justice, acknowledgment, and forcing the County to pay for decades of systemic neglect.

This page looks at civil lawsuits for victims of sexual abuse at San Diego juvenile detention centers.

San Diego County Juvenile Hall is now at the center of a troubling investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against minors who were detained at the facility. Survivors have come forward with reports of sexual exploitation, misconduct by staff members, and a pervasive culture of abuse that was allegedly ignored or covered up by those in power. These allegations are part of a larger pattern of sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system, where vulnerable youth are too often subjected to harm by the very individuals entrusted with their care.

We think San Diego will be the next California juvenile hall sex abuse settlement domino to fall.  Our lawyers talk about this, and the expected settlement amounts we expect to see in these lawsuits, below.

Survivors of the Central California Women’s Facility (often referred to as the Chowchilla Women’s Prison) have filed civil lawsuits alleging pervasive sexual abuse by correctional staff, detailing coercion, unwanted physical contact, and retaliation for reporting misconduct.

These claims underpin a growing wave of litigation holding the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) accountable. The lawsuits reveal an enduring pattern of institutional neglect, guards exploiting their authority and administrators turning a blind eye to repeated pleas for protection and justice.

Our lawyers will continue to report on every major Chowchilla lawsuit update as discovery progresses and more survivors come forward. If this follows the pattern of other institutional sex abuse cases in California, the Chowchilla women’s prison lawsuit could result in one of the largest prison-related abuse settlements in U.S. history.

High Desert Juvenile Detention Center

Camp Barrett was a juvenile detention facility operated by the San Diego County Probation Department and located in Alpine, California. It was meant to serve as a rehabilitation program for boys placed in custody by the juvenile court system—many of whom were minors with no history of violence. But for some of the youth sent there, Camp Barrett became a site of profound trauma.

Survivors have come forward with allegations that staff members—including sworn officers—sexually abused boys in their custody, taking advantage of the facility’s isolation and lack of oversight. The reports describe a system that did not simply overlook warning signs but created the conditions that allowed abuse to occur. Officers had access to children in private spaces, complaints were ignored or never documented, and leadership failed to act despite indications of misconduct.

Instead of safety and rehabilitation, these boys were met with exploitation. And the very institution responsible for their care, the San Diego County Probation Department, now faces serious questions about how this abuse was allowed to continue unchecked for years.
