Procedure when appellant in jail

Summary
If the appellant is in jail, they may hand their appeal petition and the accompanying copies to the officer in charge of the jail. The jail officer must then forward those documents to the proper Appellate Court. This lets an imprisoned person file an appeal without personal appearance at the court.
