Dallas inmates to be arraigned via video E-mail
Written by KEVIN KRAUSE / The Dallas Morning News and Commentary by Swanny Smith

Dallas County’s jails will soon be outfitted with video cameras so groups of inmates don’t have to be shuttled back and forth to courtrooms to be arraigned in front of a judge.

Instead, the judge will speak with the defendants and their attorneys on a TV monitor. Paperwork will be faxed. And jail guards can spend their time on more important tasks.

County commissioners are expected next week to approve spending $47,583 on a video arraignment system. A pilot program that began about a month ago in the George Allen jail has worked smoothly with no reported glitches.

 Eventually, all of the jails will be outfitted with video communications equipment.

Swanny Note: This is such a bad thing. Under the guise of being "thrifty"

  • outfitted with video cameras so groups of inmates don’t have to be shuttled back and forth to courtrooms to be arraigned in front of a judge.
  • Paperwork will be faxed.
  • Jail guards can spend their time on more important tasks.

Well, somewhere along the line, this has already been decided. After all, it is already lined up and working for a month at  the George Allen Jail.

And how much are they allocating to be so Thrifty? $47,583 on a video arraignment system.

And how much will it really cost? Who the heck knows. The Judges should go to the Prison and hold arraignment at the jail? But that is not in their mindset. The mindset is to cut human contact. Direct eye and personal contact. I think all humans deserve that interaction especially since they are innocent UNTIL proven guilty and deserve the UTMOST respect. At least, in the USA it used to be like that. We had Respect for each others rights or is that just another fairytale?

I just had to put in my very disgusted thought when I read this.
