A decision is expected next week as to whether a space in the Port of Spain Magistrates Court would be outfitted to allow prisoners to make virtual court appearances there instead of at police stations.

Justice Minister Devesh Maharaj made the comment on August 20, after touring the Port of Spain Magistrates Court building, which is being renovated.

Earlier this week, Maharaj had noted the current practice of prisoners making court appearances at police stations was reaching “boiling point.”
