New VR System Has Prisoners Practicing Life Beyond Bars

Күн бұрын

Six Colorado inmates sentenced to decades in prison as teenagers in the ’80s and ’90s thought they would never get out. During their 20-plus years behind bars, technology has changed the outside world dramatically.
The criminal justice system has changed, too, becoming more forgiving of people who commit crimes as juveniles. Since 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court has slowly chipped away at harsh, mandatory sentences for kids, ultimately finding in 2012 that it’s unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life without parole.
This year, Colorado started an early-release program for people convicted as juveniles who have already served 20 years of their sentences. To get ready for life on the outside, inmates in the three-year program use virtual reality to prepare for stressful situations and practice skills they never learned as teens, like doing laundry and grocery shopping.
VICE News visited the medium-security Fremont Correctional Facility as they used VR for the first time.

+Matt Is it? Where I live prisoners that have stayed in long and are not considered dangerous are moved to lower security or even open prisons without walls, given a job and some take the local ship (prison in question has a small ship that is run by inmates) to town to work at their assigned regular job and then they return afterwards and sign in. No one bothers to flee because whats the point. They are already on an extended program for release anyway. If they flee they would just go back to regular prison and lose out on the training and their current cells which are more like regular rooms.

@__Andrew 4 жыл бұрын

@@PunkFuckUp Lets flip that statement around then, if the family of the killed person said "i think they should serve no jail sentence" should we then just let them walk free? No. Because we are a society, and these prisoners are part of it. As a society we make these decisions. And no one is just letting them go free into the world. There are lots of hurdles before that that the prisoner has to pass to show they are not just no longer a threat to society, but that they can contribute. And even then once they are out of prison, they are still being watched. If someone can rejoin society, and be a functional part of it we owe it to them to allow it. America already has the highest incarceration rate of _anywhere_ else in the world. And it's by a large margin. Locking people up is not the answer to our problems. Also you do not know the details of the reasons for them being locked up. At least one of the guys shown in the program was locked up as a teen for second degree murder. Which second degree murder encompasses a wide range of possibilities.

If people come out better, then society itself is safer. People treat ex cons worse than almost any other group. And what they said about violent criminals going back to prison less is true. Once you've gone to jail for decades, you often just want to live what rest of the life you have I'm sure.

The system is ass backwards and it hasn’t worked for a very long time in deterring crime. The recidivism rate in the US is one of the highest in the world but politicians love to boast about cleaning up crime. 80% of felons go back to prison within 3 years, that’s abysmal and there’s no excuse for that.

Being locked down since 90’s is the side that we don’t remember or notice while we talk bout those “ 90’s golden days .” I guess this is how the world runs where one is thinking about the golden days he left behind and one is thinking about how the world looks like after having no view of the world for the past quarter century .

VR could be applied to so many things. Imagine in sports after practice, you can put on a headset in VR and memorize plays by interacting with the environment. Or an engineer creating something in VR before making it in real life. Or even little things like how to change a car battery... so many possibilities.

I think it would do nicely as a half-way house idea for prisoners that are going to be released soon.

I was living in Texas and riding a greyhound from Corpus Christi to Dallas and we picked up a newly released inmate in San Antonio. This was around 2012/2013. He was in prison for over 40 years, and he got on the bus heading to Dallas with us and he was freaking out. He never saw a cell phone before, let alone one that can go online or even what the internet was. He was asking so many questions and tearing up that he missed so much. I was younger at the time 22-23yo and wasn't as open to conversing with everyone like I am now at 30yo and I regret not interviewing him for the rest of the bus ride to there same city where we both lived and where he was going to meet family. Here was an older African American man in his 60s or so so I understand what these people go through. Everyone deserves a second chance to a point. Some people don't and are just animals ans need to be put down like a rabid dog. Others just made stupid mistakes. Now I live in Colorado and I'm proud of my state doing this. I've lived all over the country and Colorado is by far the best state in the country hands down.

This is exactly what every prison needs to start doing. There are always people in prison that want to get better, and that wouldn’t mess up a second chance, just as much as there is people in there that want to suck you in deeper… THIS IS AMAZING!!!

I bet you would want them free if they were your family or friends. The issue is you can spin it both ways to have bias. When you are not putting emotions into it you understand that they are humans and humans deserve empathy even if they make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes and no one should have one mistake ruin their life. Some things that would help are rehabilitation, counseling, set sentences for crimes instead of arbitrary ranges, and saftey nets for people who may turn to crime or violence. The issue is how we treat crime and criminals as though there is no underlying cause and they are not people just like us and those we love.

Ive heard they are also testing out a new vr program where people who were going to spend a long time in prison they basically put you into the vr world that's super realistic to the real one where inmates eventually forgot that its fake and they live off their life in the VR Prison for about a year but in the VR version it would feel like hundreds of years, and they would realize just how bad it would be for them and then depending on what they do in that vr program determines if they get to have their sentence reduced or their sentence completely gone and set free its quite a cool concept and if we manage to make it indistinguishable from real life it means that prisoners can live a sentence without living a sentence.

I know people are going to be very harsh on these criminals. But please try to think if maybe it had been your little brother or your dad. These people do have families and some deserve empathy. I do not understand why adult convicted rapists get to be out in the world in a registry, but it’s so controversial to possibly let someone out after being convicted as a minor and in jail for 25-40 years if they have passed these classes and have been well behaved. (I do understand many people do not deserve to be released but I think it’s good to have an option for some of these minor convicted cases after 25+ years.)
