  Article 66-Freedom of Information Requests  
66.1 Freedom of Information Requests  
  It shall be a principle of this code that the free and fair access of all information anywhere in the Corrections System should be a right for people who by their relationship or authority to the information should have access to this information.
  
  This shall extend to the right of individuals to see the use and access to personal information as well as professionals and government authorities having the right to access information in order to perform their duties.
  
66.2 Freedom of information and national security  
  While the right to disclosure should always be the first right, it is a principle of this Code that national and facility security must prevail in sometimes restricting the rights to access information.  
  One of the most important tools of government in the addressing criminal and security investigations shall always be secrecy. The level of secrecy afforded criminal and security investigations versus the freedom of information to other parties shall always be a power vested in the Executive of a Corrections Facility and management of the department.
