See how Colombia allows 17 prisoners get married right in jail (Photos)

A notorious high-security prison in Colombia allowed 17 of its inmates to get married yesterday to their long-term girlfriends.

The mass ceremony at the Carcel Villa Hermosa prison in Cali, Colombia saw the happy couples sign up to spend the rest of their lives together, once their husbands have completed their jail terms.

The 17 brides, all dressed in white, entered the prison and made their way through a series of barred gates before entering a large hall in the prison.More photos below...
