Mat-Su Pretrial and North Lakes Bookings

Mat-Su Pretrial takes most new bookings from North Lakes. The site is near Palmer. It holds inmates until they post bail, see a judge, or move to a long-term facility. The unit is part of the state DOC. That means a North Lakes inmate booked here is in the main Alaska jail roster within hours.

First hearings are usually within 24 hours. A judge sets bail, and the case gets a court number. From there, the case runs through the Palmer Superior Court, part of the Alaska Court System. Use CourtView to track it. CourtView shows bail amounts, charges, and the next court date. Some files are limited for privacy.

Phone staff can confirm if a North Lakes resident is in custody at Mat-Su Pretrial. They will not read charges over the phone. For that data, use VINE or the borough jail search. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Jail search tool shows offender name, booking number, current charges, and bond info.

Alaska DOC VINE System

The Alaska DOC VINE system is the main tool for the North Lakes jail roster. VINE is free. It runs around the clock. The tool covers every DOC site in the state. You can search by name or offender ID. Partial names work. Drop the first zero when you search by ID.

VINE shows current location and a tentative release date. Register a phone or email for alerts. Pick a four-digit PIN to confirm alerts. Keep the PIN safe. VINE is confidential, so the inmate will not know you signed up. If the North Lakes inmate moves, you get a call or email. If the inmate is released, you get another one.
