The process is the same for all divorces. You file a complaint for divorce and have to have your spouse served at the prison address. Because your spouse is in prison, he likely won't be able to defend the divorce although your spouse could theoretically hire an attorney if financially able to. If your spouse does not answer the complaint, then the divorce will proceed as an uncontested divorce which will generally will be accomplished in a fairly short hearing in front of the judge.
