The Commission of Correction recognizes the need to provide a mechanism by which a lockup may apply for a variance to the requirements of this Chapter when situations exist or arise that would prevent or alter the lockup's ability to meet a requirement as set forth in this Chapter. The commission may, in its discretion, grant such variance only under certain conditions when so doing will not jeopardize the safety, security or good order of a lockup.
