59 1. Policy:
60 11. Inmates may be permitted to marry while incarcerated at PCF.
61 11. Inmate marriage requests must be received in writing. The request must include confirmation of marital intent via a signed statement, or comparable documentation, from the intended spouse.
62 11. Inmate marriage requests shall be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Corrections Chief Deputy or designee shall supply a written copy of the decision to the inmate and the inmate's legal representative, if applicable. When permission is denied, a written explanation shall be provided.
63 11. Marriage requests by ICE detainees shall be forwarded to ICE staff.
64 11. A place and time shall be provided for permitted marriages. PCF shall not make any marital arrangements other than providing a place and time.
65 1. Rationale:
66 11. Refusal to permit an inmate marriage may have legal consequences. However, inmate marriages should be denied if legitimate penological interests would be compromised.
