A civil wedding is arranged through Visits and Correspondence. The inmate must make the request through their parole officer. The parole officer initiates the process. Inmates are responsible for all cost (marriage license etc.). Wedding takes place at V&C with bride and groom present and two witnesses.

Religious Weddings are done under the direction of the chaplain by the chaplain or an outside clergy. Fees are paid by inmate (marriage license etc.) and the couple must take part in all marriage preparation courses as set out by the chaplain or outside clergy person. If you have specific questions PM me.
