Subject: Marriage in prison

You can't get married at that facility. The city jails are short term facilities and have no provision for inmate marriages whatsoever. Marriage for an inmate would only happen to long-term offenders in a state or federal facility for an inmate with a clean incident report history.

Subject: Offender phone calls

State and federal prison have different rules on calling. In the state prisons, most inmates have unlimited talk time as long as there is money on the account.
