Why not wait until he is out, or why have you waited so long?

First allentown, is that the federal prison, I believe there is one there.

Next is it a "jail" or state prison or federal prison

The rules are different, if a jail have you asked persmission of the sheriff office to even get married,
If it is a state or federal prison, contact the chaplain of the prison they will do it.

Also there should be a lot of independent pastors that would do it, for a fee of course.
