You must notify that party with a citation etc and all the other notices you are required to serve on everyone else. You may also try to get that party to sign a waiver.

I am not sure what exactly you would like to know but you must deal with an incarcerated party just as you would deal with anyone else. The court may decide to appoint a guardian on behalf of that incarcerated party.
