How to find an inmate
People recently arrested in the Aleutians West Census Area may be held for a short time at the Unalaska Jail, which is run by the Unalaska Department of Public Safety in Unalaska. Call the department with the person's full name and date of birth. People held longer, and people sentenced to state prison, are in Alaska Department of Corrections custody, so contact the Alaska DOC as well.
Visitation
Visits at the Unalaska Jail are limited because it is a short-term holding facility, so call the Department of Public Safety to ask whether visits are allowed. If the person has been moved to an Alaska Department of Corrections facility, follow that facility's approval and scheduling process. Confirm all rules with the facility before you travel.
Bail and bond
A judge with the Alaska Court System sets bail and release conditions. Bail is generally posted through the court or the facility holding the person. Call the Unalaska Department of Public Safety or the court for current procedures.
Mail and money
Contact the Unalaska Department of Public Safety before sending mail or money, because short-term holding facilities may not accept them. If the person is in a state DOC facility, send mail and money using that facility's Alaska DOC procedures. Check the Alaska DOC website for current instructions.
