There are several instituitons that allow inmates to marry. The state and federal facilities do for long term inmates. This is a county facility and we doubt they will. You should call the facility and ask to speak to the chaplain.

No, no place will allow an inmate to marry with a 60 sentence.

You might be eligible for marriage but it is far from a sure thing. NOt all facilities allow it, the ones that do have restrictions or ineligible situations. For instance, ICE detainees are not permitted to marry as it is considered a scheme to remain in this country, regardless of the true situation. Our best advice is to have your inmate speak with their case manager or counselor to see what steps are necessary to get married.

The facilities that allow for inmate marriages are mostly state and federal prison facilities for inmates that have reasonably long sentences. The INS detainees are usually in the privately run detention centers. We do not think that there are provisions for inmate marriage there, but we encourage you to call the facility and ask to speak with a case manager or chaplain to get all the details. We would not mention the part about "so he doesn't get deported".

Some federal facilities allow inmates to wed, but we are uncertain if the private prison groups like CCA or GEO allow them. We do not think they allow them but we encourage you to call there and ask to speak with a case manager, they will have the correct answer for you. 505-285-4900

We don't think it will be easy or inexpensive. There will be court filings and maybe an appearance before a judge, at least one time . The facility will not allow you to go into civil court for a divorce. Our advise is to wait until you both are released.

It depends upon where the inmate is incarcerated and how long they have on their sentence. If he is awaiting transfer, the county jail will not perform a marriage but the chaplain at the state or federal facility might.

You may marry an inmate is many of the institutions. There are some stipulations and requirements. We encourage you to call the chaplain at the facility and ask whether this is allowed there or not. Also, your inmate cannot be a "short-timer" as they will encourage you to wait until they are released. Your will need to file for a marriage license.

Yes you can in some cases, it depends where they are incarcerated and how much time they have remaining on their sentence. You should read some of the other questions/answers we have posted in "Ask the Inmate" within this category. If you have a question that was not covered, we will be happy to answer it for you.

We are not sure about this. We know that they do not allow same-sex conjugal visits where they still have them. We would advise you to really think hard about the potential side effects to the inmate because of the controversial nature. We just think that the jail environment is the wrong setting to try something that is against the grain. We are not opposed, we just think you might be better to wait until your inmate is released.
