Funeral attendance requires the warden granting a furlough. Furloughs are rarely granted and one to another state is unheard of. The inmate will need to contact the chaplain and their counselor.

Inmates who are serving less than a year will usually have their application for marriage denied with the presumption being that such a short wait will not harm the prisoner or prospective spouse.

The best way to get through with an emergency is the inmate's  counselor, their case manager or in extreme cases the chaplain.

It depends solely on the institution rules. Federal prison you definitely can, the various state institutions are not consistent in their rules. We would advise getting in touch with the chaplain
