Can an inmate get married while incarcerated?
The Oregon Department of Corrections permits inmates to be married within its correctional facilities. The marriages take place twice a year, on the fourth Mondays of April and October. Inmates may request the necessary forms and marriage application from staff. All guests must be approved for privileged visiting. No food, cameras or special clothing may be brought into the facility for the marriage. For further information about being married within DOC institutions refer to the Department of Corrections Rule on Marriages (Inmate) OAR 291-133-005 through OAR 291-133-045, Rule #133.
