Dear LostintheSouth:
Greetings. You can serve him with process while he is in jail, so that will not matter. Even if he disagreed with the divorce, as long as you were separated for over a year and a day, you can file for divorce. As long as you serve him, the fact that he is in jail should not matter.
He could even answer and agree with the divorce to assist it moving forward. Best of luck!
