Answer:

Answer

Is there a Law Library available to you? If so, the librarian can assist you. If no Law Library is available get a phone book (if you can) and go the attorney section and try to find a public defender-type attorney. If you can't get a phone book and you're writing someone in free world ask them to find a couple of addresses for you to write to. Sometimes you can even talk to the officers that work at your facility and they MIGHT help you...you're probably taking a chance there, but you never know. Don't try to establish an inappropriate relationship--waayyyy wrong idea. But there might be a boss or two that could give you some direction.

All state and federal prison system have contracted legal counsel usually referred to as Prisoner Legal Services.

A divorce package can be obtained through this service.

Ask the cell block supervisor, the chaplain or whomever is in charge of prisoner communications for the contact information.

Incarcerated persons do not qualify for public defenders when it pertains to civil matters.
