How to find an inmate
Alaska has no counties or sheriffs, so people arrested in the North Slope Borough are first held by local police in Utqiagvik and may then be moved to an Alaska Department of Corrections facility such as Fairbanks Correctional Center. To check whether someone is in custody, call the facility with the person's full name and date of birth, or contact the Alaska Department of Corrections through its official website. The same Department of Corrections resources cover people sentenced to state prison.
Visitation
Visits at Fairbanks Correctional Center and other Alaska Department of Corrections facilities are set by DOC policy and usually require visitors to be approved in advance. Call the facility or check the Alaska DOC website for the current schedule, ID requirements, and visitor rules before you travel. For someone held short-term in Utqiagvik, contact the North Slope Borough Police Department directly.
Bail and bond
In Alaska, a judge or magistrate of the Alaska Court System sets bail and release conditions, usually at the first court appearance. Contact the court handling the case or the holding facility to learn the bail amount and the accepted payment methods. Some defendants may also be supervised by the DOC Pretrial Enforcement Division.
Mail and money
Mail to inmates in Alaska DOC facilities must include the inmate's full name and identifying information and is inspected by staff. The Department of Corrections sets the approved methods for depositing money into inmate accounts. Confirm the current mailing address, mail rules, and deposit options with Fairbanks Correctional Center or on the Alaska DOC website.
