legal research in prisons is conducted solely by using the law libraries all prisons are required to furnish.
there is no access to the internet available subsequently no lexis or westlaw.
please bear in mind that during the appellate process counsel is appointed and most actions brought forward by prisoners are writs of habeas corpus. it has become standard practice to appoint counsel on habeas if the writ is successful.

Prisons have libraries. Law books are a part of the libraries.

Yeah they get to go to the library for several hours but if locked downed have all day practically if not more. Then there are those who go as far as purchasing them. And getting the fees from their accounts.

Why would they need those resources? Their appeals are all bogus, anyway. They just make stuff up.
