As part of the project: Mental, Neurological and Substance Abuse Disorders in Guyana’s Jails, 1825 to the Present Day, we created a computer-generated three dimensional visualisation (virtual environment) of Mazaruni Penal Settlement using the original plans from 1842 (Images and a video representation of this technology is attached).

Through the eyes of an avatar, users (prison officers, trainee cadets, and researchers) are able to manoeuvre around a virtual prison environment with standard input devices, such as a keyboard or a mouse. Along with conventional methods, Guyana Prison Service will be able to incorporate this technology to improve in the areas of research and training.
