Tulsa Video Arraignment Gets Good Grades So Far

KWGS News File Photo

An early evaluation of the new video arraignment system in the Tulsa Courthouse is positive. County Commission Chairman Ron Peters says feedback from the judges and even some inmates is a ‘thumbs up’. He says the new system is proving more efficient and safer.

Peters says transporting of inmates back and forth from jails to the courts has been reduced by 40% a day. Peters says the transportation of inmates to the courthouse and then back to the jail is the most dangerous time for potential problems, so reducing trips and prisoner numbers is safer
