VIDEO CONFERENCING SYSTEM
Karnataka is one of the pioneers to introduce production of UTPs through the Video Conferencing System presently installed at 7 Central prisons i.,e Central Prison Bangalore, Belgaum, Bellary, Bijapur, Mysore Gulbarga and Dharwad and respective Courts.
Objective: The Video Conferencing System is to dispense with the need of physically producing the under -trials in Courts for adjournments and/ or extension of their judicial remand. This system speeds up the trials, avoids problems of non-production of undertrials, prevents escapes, and reduces the expenditures and overcrowding of undertrials in prisons.
From the date of inception of the Video Conferencing facilities at the above jails i.e., from April 2003 up to December 2008, 1,51,317 undertrial prisoners were produced before the Courts thus effecting savings of about Rs. 3,35,64,915.00.
Extension of video conferencing : In the second phase, installation of the video conferencing facility has been already taken up at 12 locations i.e., 8 District prisons and 4 District Hq Sub Jails and the concerned courts and works are under final stages of completion.
