Are you sure about that skafather?
It turns out that there are contracts that prisoners have drafted that include prison marriages but they are not legally binding because naturally the state refuses to recongnize them. But in some cases the prison administration grants unofficial recgonition.
1. unofficial recognition doesn't mean squat. it means the guards are playing pretend and acting like they hold some kind of power. more of a sick reminder of the stanford prison experiment than anything else
2. again, see the point about a contract made under duress...it's a void contract if such a scenario occurs. this is because for a contract to be made, both parties must be entering the contract of their own free will.
3. what are the rights given up when one becomes a prisoner? does that include contractual rights? i don't know about this but it seems like an area where other roadblocks could come up in not allowing contracts.
