I don't understand it.

Texas State Representative Trent Ashby of Lufkin has some sense! Last year, he authored a bill banning marriage by proxy by Texas prison inmates. And it passed. However, predictions are that the ACLU or some other group will contest the law in court.

I say that if an inmate wants to marry, he shouldn't break the law. Then, he can marry whenever he wants to. There has to be something wrong with a person who wants to marry someone who is in prison. Before the law went into effect, Lori Wallace Wilson married an inmate who is serving two life sentences for aggravated sexual assault (that's rape) and assault on a public servant. What kind of woman wants to marry a rapist??? Lori says she feels she was "born to be his wife." What a kook!
