Alaska Inmate Communication Overview

Alaska operates its state prison system through the Alaska Department of Corrections (ADOC). Securus Technologies handles phone calls at Alaska state correctional facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. Alaska is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. The ADOC number is required for all mail and communication accounts at Alaska state facilities. Use the ADOC inmate search at doc.alaska.gov to find the ADOC number and current facility.

Alaska state facilities include Goose Creek Correctional Center in Wasilla, Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward, Anchorage Correctional Complex, and Fairbanks Correctional Center. All non-privileged calls are monitored and recorded. JPay handles money deposits to Alaska inmate trust accounts. Alaska's vast geography means many inmates are held far from their home communities, making phone contact especially critical for families.

Alaska borough and municipal jails use their own phone vendors independently from ADOC state facilities. Anchorage Jail uses its own contracted provider. Fairbanks Correctional Center is operated by the state. Always confirm whether your loved one is in a state ADOC facility or a locally operated facility before setting up accounts. Visitor applications require background checks and take several weeks.

Which provider do Alaska state prison families use?

Securus Technologies handles phone calls at ADOC Alaska state facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. JPay handles money deposits at jpay.com. Use the ADOC inmate search at doc.alaska.gov to find the ADOC number. Alaska's vast geography makes phone contact especially critical for families separated from incarcerated loved ones.

Why is phone contact especially important for Alaska families?

Alaska is the largest state by area with a small dispersed population and many remote communities. Many Alaska DOC facilities are in Wasilla, Seward, or Fairbanks, far from families in remote communities accessible only by air or ferry. Phone calls and electronic messaging are often the only practical daily connection for Alaska families.

What is the most common mistake Alaska prison families make?

Not confirming whether a facility is ADOC state-operated or locally operated is common. Anchorage has both state and local facilities. Always confirm the specific facility and its ADOC or local status before setting up accounts. The ADOC inmate search at doc.alaska.gov confirms state facility assignments.
