Hi everyone! I'm a new member and it's my first time posting a message. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me information about prison weddings in NY. I suspect not all facilities are consistent about their requirements.
Thanks!:)

What facility are you looking for information? Yes they all are a little different... I know for most of them the inmate needs to write for permission and the process goes from there...

Hi!

Yes the inmate must start the process by writing to the Superintendent. Each facility is a bit different, so definitely let us know where you are looking at doing this. I have a copy of the NYS DOC policy on marriage at home, so if you have any specific questions I have that to refer to for you. Good luck!

Hi there,
Please let me know what you need to know about prison weddings in NY. I was married at Eastern Correctional facility. I am knowledgeable about most of the facilities in New York or know someone else who is. i can be contacted at tdwanew@hotmail.com or you can post it here and I will try to provide you with the info you need. At which facility is your intended currently?

welcome to PTO Kevinsmami from a fellow New Yorker.

Thank you for the welcome. I have a question. Do you know of the MSN group New York Inmate Families? I have been trying to find this site and have had no luck. I am trying to gather all the support I can. Where in New York are you? Which prison is you SO in?

Hi Kevinsmami...welcome to PTO! and you've hit on the right place because Val is one of the managers to NYIF.
My fiance is in NY @ Washington Correctional.

HELP
Val or anyone else I just cannot find NYIF anywhere on MSN.

if you pm Val she'll send you an invite...you need to fill out an application I think.

Hi Kevinsmami,

Gina is right, you need to get an invitation. If you pm me your email address I will send one out to you.

Val

Hi there! I have also a question about marriage in prison. My friend is a Death Row inmate in Florida. Now, I would gladly know, is in Death Row, in Raiford Florida a marriage admissible?

I would be pleased, when someone gives an answer to me.

I hope all people are by good health and good spirits.

Thanks!
