If you think if bigamous is a good thing then go on make it valid, but you will always regret it consiciously.

Yes, it is possible to escape from jail. It actually happens infrequently.
There are any number of opportunities. However, jail escape is much more difficult than prison escape.

From the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services site: http://www.uscis.gov/ a total of $675 would be required unless you are 75 or older.

Applicants 75 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; their fee total is $595. No fee is required for military applicants filing under Section 328 and 329 of the INA."

If you entered without inspection (illegal border crossing), you are out of luck. You need what's called INA 245(i). Last president who allowed 245(i) was Clinton. Before he left office, 245(i) were activated. So that EWIs(Entry without inspection) could get greencard if they get a job that sponsors them or get married to a citizen. But not now. 245(i) is not active now.
Currently President Bush said that no one who entered illegally will get a greencard. So, if you entered illegally without CIS inspection, you have to wait until Bush leaves the office and then hopefully, Congress will revive 245(i). Republican party has not been very friendly to foreigners. Yes, President allowed seasonal workers but that's very limited, and they don't get greencards. So you have to wait.
But.... If you came to US with a proper visa and entered after proper inspection, (that is if CIS officer stapled a piece of white paper called I-94 in your passport), then you have entered properly. If you entered properly, and over-stayed, you are illegally staying. If you are "illegal alien" in that sense, no problem. You can get married now to a citizen and get a greencard. After three years of having greencard, you can apply for a citizenship too.
I should think whether or not citizen is an ex-felon would not matter. Citizenship and Immigraion Service(CIS) requires only a proof of citizenship. Such include a US passport, a birth certificate in US, or a naturalization certificate. Fingerprinting or criminal records are not required for the citizen. But those things are required for the alien. But my knowledge about an ex-felon's rights as a citizen is limited, you should ask an immigration attorney or call CIS customer service. 1 800 375-5283
Call a few times, the customer service is known to give different answers.
Are US citizens being paid by immigrants to marry them for citizenship?
Marrying a foreign national for the sole of purpose of the person obtaining permanent resident status or becoming a citizen is illegal. It is a violation of federal law and punishable by fines and imprisonment for both parties. In addition the foreign national will be deported after serving his or her sentence and will not be allowed to ever reenter the U.S. Furthermore, it is a misconception that marriage of a foreign national to a U.S. citizen guarantees permanent resident status or citizenship, it does not. It does however place a higher priority level on the person's application for residency and/or citizenship.
