Bboy_mn:

First to the question, why didn't Sirius just go into Ollivander's and
buy a new wand? Because he was the most infamous, notorious, and fear
prisoner to ever escape from Azkaban, and the most heavily hunted by
the Ministy Aurors. 

So how did he get a wand? I'm guessing the prisoner's personal affects
are turned over to the prisoner's family, to a friend or
representative of the prisoner. So that would mean his wand was
stashed at his mother's house, or with, more than likely, Lupin or
Dumbledore. 

Alternately, the prisoner's personal affects are held in a 'property'
room by the Ministry, and our good friend Kingsly Shacklebolt smuggled
it out at Dumbledore's request.

Just a thought.
