Amachi Pittsburgh raises awareness and delivers services to give children a fighting chance in Allegheny County, and runs a VR pilot program to connect chidren with incaracerated parents
"Uptown-based Amachi Pittsburgh, a nonprofit that helps incarcerated parents better connect with their children, is piloting the use of virtual reality to improve communication among family members. In a first of its kind collaboration, the state Department of Corrections and Tempe, Arizona-based Wrap Technologies Inc. are piloting use of the equipment, which allows 360-degree views of an imaginary world in two or three dimensions for shared adventures between kids and incarcerated mothers and fathers. A state grant of $680,000 is underwriting the three-month trial which includes materials for a parenting class being offered virtually at three prisons, including SCI Fayette in Uniontown." https://www.govtech.com/public-safety/virtual-reality-helps-kids-with-parents-behind-bars
