Not Quite Sure What to Say

After twelve years ministering to prisoners, I thought I'd seen and heard everything. But here's a new one:

I just received a request from an inmate serving a life sentence. He's been in prison for twenty years. He wants to get engaged (not sure to whom he wants to propose) and is asking me to help him get an engagement ring.
According to his request, he was "told" (I don't know who tells these inmates all this stuff) that I would help out with everything he needs to do.

Hmmm. What's a chaplain to do? I'm not even sure how to answer this one.
