For somebody who is a high escape, high assassination or generally high risk. Somebody with enough money for example could arrange for an escape attempt at the court itself.
Unfortunately it's also used for anybody who acts "against the state", i.e. whistleblowers. Such cases do not occur without consent from high levels of government.
- frollo 7y ago> For somebody who is a high escape, high assassination or generally high risk I don't know if it still in use, but Italy had at least a bunker court for mafia trials which could withstand even missile attacks. In case of high risk targets, I feel it would be better to ensure the safety of every person inside the court, instead of enclosing just one person inside a box which could still be opened, after spilling enough blood. To me, it seems the glass box is used only for the psychological effect and justified with the security concerns.
