Re: prison release
No. The liability for payment and satisfaction of those expenses are solely his and his alone. But marital funds belong to both spouses equally in this state, absent a written separate-property agreement, and are normally used to pay those things by and for a married person. Though that person's spouse is not personally responsible for such costs, the spouse's assistance is often required in reaching funds for the person to pay those things.
