California Attorney General Rob Bonta is investigating San Diego County juvenile halls for alleged civil rights abuses.

The county has two of those facilities: the East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility in Otay Mesa and the Youth Transition Campus in Kearny Mesa.

Reporting in The San Diego Union-Tribune has highlighted longstanding problems within the facilities. We discuss the investigation with a member of the U-T's watchdog team.
