Caernarfon Court Open Day

Visitors to the new Caernarfon Criminal Justice Centre got the opportunity to see what happens inside during an open day on Saturday (17th Oct) - and still kept on the right side of the law!

Nearly 700 people took the opportunity to take a tour of the courts, watch a mock court trial, sample the state-of-the-art Video Link system, have their fingerprints taken, meet the judges and even get locked up in a cell! The public also saw how provisions are made in court hearings when the Welsh language is used.

There was also the opportunity for the public to decide the fate of convicted criminals. But don't worry! This is was just an exercise for the ‘You be the Judge’ event, which gave the visitor the opportunity to hear real, recent, anonymous court cases and vote on the appropriate sentence using ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ style voting consoles
