Fairbanks County Jail vs. Fairbanks Correctional Center: Which Facility Holds Your Loved One?

Fairbanks Correctional Center (FCC) is a medium-security state prison run by the Alaska Department of Corrections. It's not the county jail. That distinction matters because the lookup process and contact numbers are completely different.

FCC houses around 165 offenders. It's a specific state facility, not a general holding location - so using the right roster or search tool is essential if you want answers fast.

The addresses make it easy to tell these facilities apart. Fairbanks Correctional Center is at 1931 Egan Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701. Fairbanks County Jail sits at 911 Cushman Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701. Different building, different intake, different staff.

Phone numbers differ too - calling the right one saves a lot of runaround. Fairbanks Correctional Center: 907-458-6700. Fairbanks County Jail: (907) 450-6500.

Think your loved one is at Fairbanks Correctional Center? Start with Alaska's online Inmate Search Tool on the DOC website at http://www.correct.state.ak.us/. This search is tied directly to the state system, making it the fastest way to confirm FCC placement.

Think they're at Fairbanks County Jail instead? Use the jail's online "Jail Roster" for inmate searches. The jail uses Securus Technologies for calls and messaging - so if someone told you to set up an account with Securus, that's a sign you're dealing with the county side.
