What is it you don't know about this? You do it like anyone else, does, I suppose. Contact the jail and find out what their requirements are, and find a justice of the peace... The jail or prison probably sees this a lot and will likely be able to direct you to a Justice of the peace to have a civil ceremony or just an "on record" marriage. But second question that occurs to me is why would you want to commit your life to a person who has shown themselves not to honor their responsibilities? Chances are he won't be different with you. Why would you want to set yourself up for that? He may be a good person and you may want to see the good in him, but sounds like if he is in jail that he doesn't know how to do that yet. Don't kid yourself that you will be able to change that --- or "save" or "teach" or "change" him.

I wish you all the best. Best advice to take a minute to really think about what this decision will mean to you and those you love. All the best.

I am not sure if this is correct for that jail but from what I know about Florida and Texas which are both the same for this situation. If you have a pastor or preacher that you know out side the jail all you should have to do is go and get you marriage license and then have your pastor call the jail and all jails have a procedure to do it. Another thing that I have heard been done was to go and talk to the Justice of the Peace to have the ceremony done. I have heard that some jails will not let the two of you actually be there together to do it at which point the would have a judge or someone stand in in place of you boyfriend but he would sign the papers and its all legal.
Hope that might help you out.

I don't know if you already figured out how to do this but it isn't really as strange as some people might think - Riverside County Jail is probably one of the better jails for accommodating these kind requests, too.

If you have a really good attorney you should have him request a "furlough" - it is very rare, but if granted it would basically give your inmate the opportunity to get out of jail for a few days (for the wedding, a close honeymoon, etc.).

I've only heard of this actually working once but it's worth a try - best of luck!
