Since Oregon does not grant inmates conjugal visits, the couple might have to wait years to consummate their marriage. But no one was thinking about that during the couple's wedding day.

Today, only four states—California, Connecticut, Washington and New York—allow conjugal visits.

Each California prison has facilities for “family visits” (sometimes called “conjugal” visits) with “immediate family members.” These visits allow a person in prison to be with their family for approximately 30 to 40 hours in a private space, usually a small trailer on the prison grounds.

Family visits are restricted to immediate family members (parents, children, siblings, legal spouses, registered domestic partners, or who have a bona fide and verified foster relationship) of the incarcerated person. There are no age restrictions for prospective visitors.

Each inmate will be allowed up to two (2) visitors only per visitation day (two adults or one adult and one child). A parent or guardian must accompany children under the age of 18. All children must have adult supervision before, during, and after a visit. Presently, an inmate can only visit with 2 people at a time.

Programs which allow an opportunity for a conjugal visit exist in five States: Mississippi, New York, California, South Carolina, and Minnesota.

There are only four U.S. states that currently allow conjugal visits, often called "extended" or "family" visits: California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington.
