    Thailand or Trouble: How VR Is Rehabilitating People in Solitary Confinement

    What happens when someone who hasn't seen the world in years puts on a VR headset — and breaks down in tears? Over 122,000 people sit in solitary confinement in U.S. prisons on any given day. The UN calls it torture. And yet, it remains one of the most common forms of punishment in America. One California prison decided to try something no one saw coming: virtual reality. In this episode, journalist Karina Michelle breaks down the groundbreaking program using VR, art, and psychology to rehabilitate people in solitary confinement, and why it's working when nothing else has. We hear from the people who built it, the people who lived it, and ask the question the system doesn't want to answer: if this works, why aren't there more? Thailand or trouble. The choice is real. And it's changing lives. Creative Acts: https://www.creativeacts.us/ Follow for more: https://www.instagram.com/thecrimeglasses/ https://www.tiktok.com/@thecrimeglasses
