What are Alaska Inmate Records?

Alaska inmate records are documents, images, files, and electronic media that pertain to specific individuals within the Alaskan penal system. These records follow each prisoner from the point of arrest all the way through their incarceration and parole or probation after release. Typical Alaskan inmate records contain personal details such as name, address, eye and hair color, weight, height, race, gender, and aliases used. They also include court and law enforcement paperwork related to arrests, convictions, charges, sentencing and any court-mandated programs.

Unfortunately, Alaska does not have an inmate search feature on their website for easy access to inmate records. However, they do provide a phone number (907-465-3485) interest parties can call to get information about a specific inmate. 

Victims and other researchers can also use the online VINE service to search for inmates incarcerated in Alaska. Victims can also sign up for notification when the offender is about to be released on parole or probation. 

The Alaska Department of Corrections has a downloadable form on their website so that the public can request a release of case records for a specific inmate.
