Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 25, June 18, 2024
A major departmental objective is to foster ties to the community that will help create stability in the inmate's personal life. The department recognizes that a marriage can assist in creating that personal stability. Accordingly, the department will provide appropriate assistance to inmates who wish to become married. The department also recognizes that a person's confinement will in itself present impediments and difficulties to the contracting of a marriage during that period of confinement. The purpose of this directive is to outline the responsibilities of the inmate and the intended spouse and the obligations of the department to ensure that an intended marriage is legally acceptable.
