Can you marry someone while they are in there?

In some rare cases, you can marry an inmate.

In some rare cases, you can marry an inmate. The inmate must be a long-time offender, in state or federal prison. County jails will not allow marriage. One thing we would like you to think about - maybe you should wait until they get out. You want to remember this day as special. Doing it in prison is less than that.
