California State Prison-Los Angeles County in Lancaster is the first and only state prison opened in Los Angeles County.

In June 2004, the California Youth Authority (now part of California Department of Corrections) closed Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility in Whittier (11850 East Whittier Blvd.). This was the oldest juvenile facility in the state, first opened in 1890 as the Reform School for Juvenile Offenders. In 1941, the institution was renamed to honor Fred C. Nelles, superintendent of the school from 1912 to 1927. Averaging a daily population of 439 wards in its later years, the facility once housed nearly 1,000 wards. The last ward left the facility on May 27, 2004.
