Research in the UK suggests that 81% of prison leavers receive no support in preparing for their release. This is one of the significant challenges that incarcerated individuals face as they try to rebuild their lives on the outside and become an integrated part of society. Post-release employment has been found to reduce the risk of reoffending by between a third and a half. However, most of the prison population has no stable employment experience. Further research recommends that employment programmes be based on strong local partnerships, with vocational training activities linked to real employment prospects.
Digital systems are crucial to enabling the delivery of high-quality education to prisoners. If prisoners are released to secure employment, continue to study, or otherwise contribute to society, they must be allowed to use and improve their digital skills in prison. Augmented reality will play an integral part in the offender learning revolution.
