As COVID-19 cases surge worldwide, young people in California's state-run youth correctional system, the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), remain at high risk of contracting the deadly virus. During a first-wave outbreak in June and July of 2020, DJJ was unable to control COVID-19's rapid spread, resulting in the infection of one in twelve youth (CDCR, 2020). By the end of the summer, DJJ had one of the highest coronavirus case counts in the nation, with its Ventura Youth Correctional Facility ("Ventura") ranking sixth among over one thousand youth facilities (Rovner, 2020). This fact sheet reports on DJJ's handling of a COVID-19 outbreak that took place during the summer of 2020. That crisis, like many health and safety emergencies before it, was cloaked in secrecy. DJJ is one of the only correctional agencies in the state of California that does not provide data on COVID-19 cases by facility and has not revealed its testing numbers. In the absence of official information, they rely on alternative sources to construct a picture, however incomplete, of DJJ's COVID-19 response. This effort was informed by: (1) official data, some of which was obtained through a California Public Records Act request; (2) conversations with state leaders and DJJ administrators; and (3) personal accounts collected from family members of DJJ youth, community advocates, attorneys, and current DJJ staff.
