Images from the exhibit "Juvenile In Justice,'' by photographer Richard Ross, are on display at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, Nev. Ross hopes the haunting exhibit will bring changes in the way the nation deals with the approximately 70,000 youths held in detention or correctional facilities across the country on any given night -- many of them for offenses no more serious than skipping school.
