Getting married in the prison is not granted to all inmates. For instance, short-timers never usually get an approval. Your inmate would have to qualify for the privilege. The candidate for marriage is a long time sentence with good behavior in a prison system that permits it. To start the process, have your inmate meet with the chaplain to see if he qualifies and go from there.
