Alaska Inmate Search – Alaska DOC Offender Lookup

The open record laws of Alaska provide the public with access to inmate information upon request. Information contained in the Alaska Department of Corrections (ADOC) records includes offender charges, imprisonment terms, personal information, and incarceration location. 

To perform an inmate search, you must provide the following details: 

• The inmate’s state 

• The offender’s identification number 

• Your search intent 

The Alaska Department of Corrections allows the public to conduct a free inmate search using the following methods: 

Method 1: VINELink

Public members can use VINELink to conduct a free inmate lookup and the incarceration status in Alaska. The public can also search as “guests” to access information on the VINELink website.  

The VINE system allows crime victims to sign up for an account and receive updates whenever the inmate’s custody status changes. VINELink also provides a mobile application platform that enables streamlined public information access. 

You can use the following steps to find an inmate in Alaska using the VINELink method: 

1. Log onto the VINELink website and locate the holding facility of the inmate. After logging in, the website requires the name or ID number of the inmate. 

2. You’ll get a list of inmates whose details match your search intent on the following page. 

3. Click on the “Record Details” button to see the specifics of a given offender’s file record. 

Method 2: Toll-Free Calls

Method 3: Local Police and Jail Records

Alaska’s police departments keep official records of everyone booked into local county or city jails. You can inquire from the relevant local law enforcement authorities to determine the arrest status of offenders. The local law enforcement agencies have online databases of prisoner information accessible to the public upon request.
