Why are people in Russia and Ukraine kept in cages in courtrooms? I've never questioned it, since images like that were shown to me when I was still a kid, but it's kinda fucking weird once you actually think about it.
>>226039953okay fellas let's break this down!what is the main purpose of a cage to begin with?
>>226039997I dont get it
>>226039953Makes them look guilty already. I assume a Soviet tradition.Reason in the first world you're allowed to take off cuffs in the court room, too.
>>226039953They used to do the same here but only for hearings against members of organised crime, normally the defendant sits in front of the judge, at the opposite side of the public prosecutor
>>226039953In Russia if a case goes to trial it's generally a guaranteed sign of guilt.And yes there have been numerous cases of defendants attempting to escape from the courtroom, which is why they are kept in cages.t. rus
