Who should I call if I have a medical or behavioral health question about an inmate?
Start with the Alaska DOC centralized lines for Medical Health Care (907.269.7300) or Behavioral Health Care (907.269.7320). You can also contact the specific facility directly for location-specific details (for example, Fairbanks Correctional Center is listed with a facility phone number).

Hours vary by facility, but some Alaska listings show weekend visiting. For example, Fairbanks Correctional Center lists Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Mat-Su Pretrial shows the same hours. Confirm directly with the facility and make sure your visit is scheduled in advance.
