Mirmichi Leader Friday November 7th, 2008
By Laura MacInnis
Ten years ago there was a riot at the Atlantic Institution in Renous.
Instead of hauling 13 violent inmates to the Miramichi Law Courts to be charged, a video conference was set up at the local hospital between the judge and the prison.
The security it maintained for sheriffs who would otherwise have to transport more than a dozen criminals from a maximum security prison was a benefit the court saw right away.
That's why Miramichi was the first to purchase it's own Integrated Switch Digital Networking (ISDN) video link system in New Brunswick in 2001.
