Prisoners Brawl at Juvenile Facility

Authorities used pepper spray to help end a racially charged fight among two dozen juvenile prisoners at Camp Kilpatrick in Malibu over the weekend, officials said.

The brawl began with name-calling between an African American and a Latino in the camp’s dormitory at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, said Los Angeles County Chief Probation Officer Robert Taylor.

“We’ll be looking into the causes of this and having a larger discussion of how we’re housing minors,” Taylor said.
