About
Dr. Neil Jordan is a leading researcher at the intersection of correctional policy, vocational rehabilitation, and emerging technology. His work focuses on improving re-entry outcomes for returning citizens, particularly through the integration of virtual reality (VR) and other immersive tools into prison-based training programs. Dr. Jordan’s most-cited study, a type 1 hybrid randomized controlled trial protocol, evaluates the effectiveness of VR job interview training within Michigan’s Vocational Villages—a pioneering initiative that embeds skilled trades education in an immersive technological community. This research addresses a critical gap in preparing incarcerated individuals for community re-entry, with the potential to reduce recidivism and enhance employability. His work has garnered significant attention, with his top paper accumulating 17 citations, reflecting its relevance to both criminal justice reform and educational technology. Dr. Jordan’s contributions are notable for their practical, scalable design, bridging rigorous methodology with real-world correctional settings. By demonstrating how VR can supplement traditional vocational training, he is shaping evidence-based practices that empower returning citizens and inform policy. His research stands as a model for using technology to foster equity and opportunity in the justice system.
