In face of the technological advances, the Brazilian legal procedure needs to reconsider its paradigms. The Judiciary needs to use in its everyday the new technologies, otherwise, the accumulation of jobs and the delay in the jurisdictional performance will prevail, in clear detriment to the principle of procedural speed.

Thus, the modification to the rites and legal procedural procedures are necessary throughout the time, constant update in a society where the information changes at a blazing speed. In face to the speed and the increasing need of the individual to receive the jurisdictional performance, the legal procedure must also change together with the development of the society.Using videoconferences in the legal proceedings can be an enormous technological success, as it consists of the technical feasibility to carry out remote hearings, since the view, listening and communication are assured and it is possible to record them in compact disc, and attach them to the records for further consultation. Used to carry out interrogations prevent the prisoner to be required to appear in court. The defendant is inquired in the tele-hearing room of the own prison facilities where the prisoner is waiting for the trial. In the de tele-hearing room there are audio and video channels available for the defendant to communicate in private with his/her attorney, who is in the hearing room of the court, without affecting the interview with other attorney that assists him/her in the prison where remains imprisoned. However, it is necessary to assess if in case the prisoner interrogation by videoconference in the Brazilian prisons can be carried out according to the Brazilian criminal procedure, such procedure should not infringe the constitutional principle of legal defense, set forth in section 5th, clause LV, of the current Brazilian Federal Constitution. It is impossible to be a Government of Law which criminal procedural rules are away from the Constitution. The interpreter must attempt to apply the law in the no actual case, taking as an assumption the analysis of the Federal Constitution, then, the sub-constitutional law regarding the subject must be consulted
