Court-appointed attorneys typically handle criminal cases only. Even "Legal Aide" service offices must restrict what types of cases they handle due to workload and funding. So I'd suggest finding a family member who can hire an attorney to file the divorce petition or inquire whether you can file it yourself. In "no fault" States, divorce proceedings may not need an attorney. Ask in your jurisdiction.

Does your wife have to sign divorce papers if she is in prison in Louisiana?

She don't have to sign it. As long as the papers are given to her and properly served in any state. If she does not sign it than it means that she is accepting the divorce and has no plans in stopping you. However since she is in prison make sure to get an experienced attorney to start the paper work. How long is she in prison and for what and when is she suppose to be out, does she agree with the divorce? These are all important questions your attorney would ask. However if you do decide to do it yourself divorce using an online divorce preparer which costs around $750 you can get an uncontested divorce without children and no kids by not asking for alimony and etc. Keeping the divorce terms simple as possible to avoid retaliation from the other side. Good Luck
