Frank:
When I have represented incarcerated debtors, I have used my bar card to get into the jail and get first hand signatures.

In the past, I have had success with mailing the bankruptcy paperwork to the incarcerated client for review and signatures (normally the correctional facility will have a contact number and address for someone that you can send legal documents to inmates to sign). In the past, the UST has allowed 341a examination by way of interrogatories for the incarcerated debtor. Again, I havent done this in a while so requirements may have changed.
