Ailing Superintendent
I have approved you to get married while housed here at SCI-Camp Hill. Your neat step
in this .process is that you & your fiancke will nod to petition the court sail request a
clerk firnn the Cumberland County Register of Wills to come here to the prison to take
your application, The cost of this petition is S 15.00 and must be paid by your fiancke at
the time of filing. Once the judge authorizes the clerk to leave the building your fiaac6e
must go to the Register of Wills and pay for the license and complete her part of the
application.. At this time, a clerk will contact my office to set up a time to come meet with
you and fill out your part of the application.

Ok per policy the ceremony has to take place in the visiting room during hours when it is closed which would be Sun,
Mon, Tues, Weds, Fri, and Sat from 4:OOpm-8:45am or Tours from 9:OOpm-1:OOpm. Also, the Facility Chaplain or
magistrate or representative from another faith group may officiate the wedding (this has to be paid by the inmate). The
"guests" will be Corrections Officers (does not give a specific number) as well as two visitors each for the groom and
for the bride (these 4 individuals must all be in the inmate's visiting list). The, wedding bands must be sent to security
prior to the wedding for inspection and the bouquet is a two flower arrangement. A brief kiss will be allowed and one
photograph is pen~itted and the photographer normally assigned to the guest house will serve as photographer (this will
also be paid by the inmate).
As for the marriage license, I received an a-mail from the register of wills from Cumberland County and will forward it
onto you, she explains how the inmate can go about getting his marriage license.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Mr. Ditty,
Bedoya, JP5924, and his fiancee, Myrian Velasquez of Ephrata, request your permission to be married at SCIC. I
have met with them [see ICAR note bekwvj and determined that this has been an ongoing r~elatbnship since
before his incarr:eration and that it is a realistic and viable plan. lie has given me a request slip addressed to you,
Go me, stating this desire.

session. They have requested to be married during .his irxs~rceration: The most important or urgent issue
is that she has a window of enrollment on her insurance. He needs to get on her insurance for himself
and his children. We discussed multiple topics that they are recornrrreilded to thoroughly communir,ate
with each other. Both of them are Catholic, so that removes one spiritual issue. They plan on a spiritual.
wedding when he is released. Other practical concerns and processes were discussed. There is a large
generational difference in their ages, and both have children from their previous marriages. The children
are already well,arquainted with both parties. Their next step is to get legal registration at the court
house.
