other state, unless the warden or manager determines that extenuating circumstances

exist; (b) Allow offenders to receive visitors in person, regardless of whether visitation

by means of electronic communication is made available; and (c) Allow visitation by means of electronic communication, provided that such visitation

is in addition to and not in lieu of in-person visitation. 2. Requirements relating to the cancellation of visitation, which must, without limitation,
