text: how do i marry my fiance now that he is in california state prison? he is in the reception center awaiting to do a 2 year sentance.  can we still marry while he is in there.  any insight would be greatly appreaciated!!! you will not be able to marry until after he is mainlined. there are no reception center weddings. after he is mainlined, he can request a marriage packet from the chaplain or his counselor. for details about the facility after he's mainlined, visit the appropriate forum at http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=257  oh, by the way, has he sent you a visitor's questionaire yet? it is form cdc-106, he has to sign the back before he sends it, but once you are approved to visit, that approval will follow him to his mainline facility. good luck to you both.
