Where to Search the College Jail Roster
College is part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The borough does not run a community jail for College. Alaska State Troopers and Fairbanks police make most of the arrests here. Booked inmates move to the Fairbanks Correctional Center. That site is the core of the College jail roster. You can also use VINE for a name-based lookup at any hour.
Fairbanks Correctional Center is at 907-458-6700. Staff will confirm custody over the phone but will not read charges. For charges, bail, and court dates, use VINE. Call 1-800-247-9763 or go to the VINELink site. VINE is free and runs around the clock. The Alaska Department of Public Safety lists VINE as the state's main inmate lookup tool.
Note: Start any College inmate search with VINE to cover every DOC site in one place.
Fairbanks Correctional Center and College
Fairbanks Correctional Center is the main DOC site for College residents. The facility takes both pretrial and sentenced inmates. Bookings from College, Badger, North Pole, and the rest of the borough all pass through this site. The main line is 907-458-6700. Use it to confirm custody or ask about mail, visits, and inmate accounts. The staff can answer short questions and route the longer ones.
When a College resident is booked at Fairbanks Correctional Center, the record is on the Alaska jail roster within a few hours. Name, age, charges, and booking number all show up on VINE. A first hearing comes next, usually within 24 hours. Bail is set by a judge. The case then runs through the Fairbanks Superior Court, part of the Alaska Court System.
Visits run on a set schedule. Check the DOC page before you drive out. ID rules are strict and the dress code is enforced. The facility can lock down with no notice for safety reasons. Phone calls and email go through a state-approved vendor. For a College family member trying to stay in touch with an inmate, those are the main options.
VINE Inmate Search for College
VINE is the main tool for the College jail roster. It is free. It is public. It is run by the state. Search by name or offender ID. Partial names work too. When you search by ID, drop the first zero at the start of the number. Use the first four characters and check the partial ID box if you are not sure of the full number.
VINE shows current location, charges, and a tentative release date. Sign up for alerts to get a call or email when a College inmate moves or is released. A four-digit PIN confirms alerts. Keep the PIN safe. The service is confidential, and the inmate will not know you signed up. VINE runs around the clock, so alerts can come at odd hours.
VINE covers every DOC site in Alaska, not just Fairbanks. That means a College inmate who moves to Anchorage or Juneau will still show up on the same search. For a walkthrough, the court system's tips on locating people page has a clean summary.
College Court Records
College court cases run through Fairbanks. The Fairbanks Superior Court and District Court both hear cases from the borough. CourtView is the public case tool for the Alaska Court System. You can search by name, case number, or date. The file shows charges, bail, and the next hearing. Not every paper is online. Some records have limited access for privacy or legal reasons.
For a second way to search, the Alaska Court Records portal gives a public index. It works well as a backup when CourtView is slow. Use it when you want to check a College arrest record and cannot find the case on the main tool.
College Arrest Records
Arrests in College come from Fairbanks police, Alaska State Troopers, and UAF police when the case is on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. Under AS 40.25.110, most arrest data is public. The record lists charges, the date and time of the arrest, the agency, and a booking number. Mugshots are rare. Alaska releases booking photos only in narrow cases tied to active investigations.
To pull a full report, contact the arresting agency. For trooper cases, use the DPS records request portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. The DPS line is 907-269-5767. A name-based criminal history report is $20 for the first copy and $5 for each extra. Fingerprint-based reports are $35. The DPS background check portal handles online requests.
You need a social security number and a state driver's license or ID to verify who you are. Most sites take cash, check, and money order. The report shows arrests, charges, and court outcomes if they are in the state system. For longer questions, call the Chief Classification Officer at 907-269-7426.
College Public Records Act
The Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.125 governs access to jail roster data for College and the rest of the state. Agencies must respond within 10 business days. The law is run by the Alaska Department of Law at 907-269-5100. The act does not limit who can ask or why. That rule helps when you need a borough arrest report or a DOC inmate record.
Criminal records held by DPS follow a stricter rule under Alaska Statute 12.62.160. Most of that data is confidential. The subject of the record can get a copy. Some uses are allowed for courts and agencies. The Alaska Public Records Act page at the Department of Law spells out how the act works and what the fees are.
