The signer is incarcerated.
Short answer
Coordinate with the facility in advance, confirm what identification will be available, and follow the facility's security process. The notarial requirements do not change.
Full explanation
Ask the facility whether a staff notary is available, what identification the facility can produce, whether credible witnesses may be used, and what you may bring inside. Allow generous time for screening.
