Dialogic is investigating, on behalf of the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC), whether mobile applications can support the reintegration of (former) detainees. The broader use of ICT support functionalities such as mobile applications aligns with the ambitions of the Dutch Custodial Institutions Agency (DJI). Since 2013, efforts have been made to compile these functionalities under the name ZelfBediening Justitiabelen (ZBJ). The aim is to reduce recidivism by enhancing the self-reliance of detainees, and, additionally, to reduce the implementation costs of DJI.
Previous studies have explored the possibilities of using applications to promote the reintegration of detainees. However, it is still unknown whether the use of an app actually has a positive effect on reintegration and what specifications this app should have.
