GTL Releases Virtual Reality Platform for Corrections
GTL has built a virtual reality platform for the corrections industry that will be piloted with an inmate control group. Virtual reality provides the ability to positively influence an inmate before re-entry. It's a great way to better help inmates reintegrate in society. "I believe the most important use for this technology is simulating difficult situations for inmates that they must work through on their own, while still having a safety net," said Dr. Turner Nashe, GTL Senior Vice President of Educational Services. "An inmate with anger issues could be placed in a situation where they must deal with that emotion. There would still be controls to manage the situation if the inmate's anger gets out of control. They can also continually work through their issues until they are able to control their reactions."
GTL's virtual reality content could also be used to:Provide educational content in an immersive, engaging way Help inmates in solitary confinement feel less isolated Help inmates control phobias or conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder Teach vocational skills such as plumbing and carpentry Virtually travel to different places around the world Simulate real-life scenarios (such as a family dispute) in a safe environment Combat boredom and promote a safer facility environment by offering games and other entertainment options "The possibilities are exciting," continued Dr. Nashe. " provides the ability to positively influence an inmate before re-entry. It's a great way to better help inmates reintegrate in society."
