In the column titled “CityBeat overstates juvenile hall rape stats,” published Jan. 31, The Daily Aztec falsely reported there are more than 12 juvenile facilities in San Diego County; in truth there are 11 facilities, five of which are for detention.
It was also incorrectly reported the Juvenile Probation Department intentionally and illegally falsified reports, the OIA investigates allegations of law enforcement misconduct, that public records become public when cases are closed and that county officials aren’t the ones responsible for misreported numbers.
Assumptions were also made regarding the relationship status of a previous detainee with a former detention officer and the possible reasons why rapes in juvenile detention centers were not reported.
The Daily Aztec regrets these errors.
