 The Judge would be able to interact with the prisoner without the
prisoner being physically brought before him.

involved in the physical transportation of the prisoner from the jail to
the court.

so that they can utilize their time in other official tasks.

conferencing, that there is no bar to the examination of a witness by
video conferencing being essential part of the electronic method.
