okay. thank you very much. ronnie tye is dealing with a very different sort of legal matter. he has appealed the administration s denial of his prison wedding. and he s about to get the results from the assistant superintendent, dan mcbride. i saw your request for marriage application earlier this week. and i saw where it had been denied. there are some reasons a marriage can be denied. and one of them is the safety and security of the facility. or the department or the individuals involved. what was the reason for them to use safety and security of the facility? there was concern because you recently were found in possession of a cell phone. actually, i wasn t found in possession of a cell phone. i was found in possession of a cell phone charger. and i gave the cell phone to them after they shook me down and didn t find the cell phone. i brought the cell phone to them.
that s kind of what i live for, four hours every two weeks. and those visits might become even more restricted. since tye was recently caught with a cell phone charger, prison officials might decide to put him on non-contact visitation status or suspend it all together. hi, baby. they could also decide to cancel his upcoming prison wedding. i love you. i love you. you doing okay? i don t know if i can keep my visits. don t even go there. i m serious. no. i told him we wanted to get married october 7th. that works. october 7th. we re going to push for it. but we don t know. you don t make the date here. they make it for you basically. while visitation helps some inmates connect with loved ones, others seek new relationships through personal ads.
