ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST - Two prisoners in an Ivory Coast jail who courted and fell in love through a peephole in an iron door have been released for a few hours to get married, one of their jailers said last week. Roland Guy Bouabre, serving a 3-year sentence for stealing a bicycle, courted Emilie Yobouet, who was given a one-year sentence for kidnapping a child, while he was delivering groceries for her to cook. He would take the groceries to the iron door and then a guard would deliver them. "You can find love in all kinds of places -- even prison," Daloa prison officer Norbert Bah told Reuters by telephone. Yobouet completed her sentence two days after the wedding but brings food to the jail each day to supplement her husband's meager prison diet. |
