Virtual Reality Job Interview Training for Adults Receiving Prison-Based Employment Services: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility and Initial Effectiveness Trial

The criminal justice system has advanced the integration of technology (e.g., computer-simulated learning, video games) into its practices to alleviate the challenges faced with training and supervising staff and returning citizens (Cornet & Van Gelder, 2020; Ticknor, 2019). Notably, virtual reality (i.e., a two- [2D] or three-dimensional [3D] virtual environment accessed using a computing device [Non immersive] or head-mounted display [immersive]; Paes et al., 2017) has emerged as a versatile technology that can address several novel aspects of correctional services.
