The number of young Americans in juvenile detention dropped by 77 percent over the last two decades, from more than 100,000 to just over $25,000, according to data from the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention published late last year.

Yet, for those still in contact with the justice system, barriers remain after release.
