Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Fairbanks Correctional Center allows people in custody to make outgoing phone calls during designated hours, but the facility does not accept incoming calls to inmates. All calls are recorded and monitored for security. Phone service runs through a contracted vendor, and calls are typically completed as collect calls or through prepaid calling accounts funded by the inmate or outside contacts. Outgoing calls may be limited to approved numbers and will follow the vendor's account setup and payment rules. If you need to pass along something urgent, policies vary. Some facilities let family or friends leave an urgent message for staff to relay. Check the facility's contact information or call to ask about any urgent-message procedure.
