Wasilla Jail Roster Overview
Where to Find the Wasilla Jail Roster
Wasilla sits inside the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The borough covers a huge area, and the Mat-Su court system handles most local cases. The Wasilla Police Department makes many of the first arrests inside the city. Alaska State Troopers handle calls outside the city limits. Both agencies feed into the state DOC system and the VINE service.
Goose Creek Correctional Center
Goose Creek Correctional Center is the main state prison for Wasilla and the Mat-Su area. The address is 22301 W Alsop Road, Point Mackenzie, AK. The main phone line is 907-864-8100. GCCC holds inmates from across the state, not just the local borough. It is one of the largest prisons in Alaska. Long term inmates from Anchorage and Fairbanks often move here to serve their time.
GCCC is part of the Alaska DOC system. The Alaska DOC runs 13 facilities in all, and GCCC handles a large share of the state's male inmate count. If the Wasilla jail roster shows a person at GCCC, the search tool will list the site, the housing unit, and a tentative release date when one is set. Staff at 907-864-8100 can answer questions about visiting hours, phone calls, and mail rules. Call ahead before you drive, since rules change on short notice.
Note: Goose Creek is a state prison, not a city jail, so people booked in Wasilla may or may not end up here based on their case and sentence.
Point Mackenzie Correctional Farm
Point Mackenzie Correctional Farm is a second DOC site in the Wasilla area. It runs a work program for inmates. The mailing address is PO Box 877730, Wasilla, AK 99687. The main phone line is 907-376-2976. PMCF is smaller than Goose Creek, and it mostly holds inmates who are close to release or who qualify for outdoor work. The farm grows food and runs other work crews.
The Mat-Su Borough Jail is the third main site. It handles short term holds and pretrial cases tied to local arrests. The jail is run at the borough level but works with the state DOC on transfers. A person booked in Wasilla may start at the Mat-Su Borough Jail, then move to GCCC or PMCF based on their case. VINE tracks each move and keeps the Wasilla jail roster up to date.
Wasilla VINE and Inmate Search
VINE is the fastest way to check the Wasilla jail roster. Call 1-800-247-9763 or use VINELink online. The service is free. It lets you search by name or offender ID. You can also set alerts. VINE calls or emails you if the person moves, is released, or escapes. You pick a four digit PIN when you sign up. The Alaska Department of Public Safety external links page lists VINE as the official state inmate lookup.
When you search by ID, drop the first zero. You can also use just the first four characters and check the partial ID box. VINE is the only state approved vendor for Alaska inmate data. It runs all day and night. If you need a second path, the Alaska Court System tips on locating people page covers VINE, DOC phone lines, and other state tools in one spot.
Wasilla Court Records
The Mat-Su courts handle cases tied to Wasilla bookings. You can search cases in CourtView at the Alaska Court System site. Search by name, case number, or hearing date. CourtView shows charges, bail, and the next court date for each case. That helps when you want to know when a Wasilla jail roster inmate may be released.
For a second route into court data, the Alaska Court Records portal is a public index of case files. Use it when CourtView is down or slow. Alaska courts sit in the Third Judicial District for the Wasilla area. The district covers Anchorage, the Mat-Su Borough, and Kenai Peninsula. Superior Court handles felony cases. District Court handles misdemeanors and traffic cases.
Wasilla Public Records
The Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.125 covers access to Wasilla jail records and other state files. Agencies must respond within 10 business days. The act does not limit who can file a request. Wasilla police reports and borough level files can be pulled under this rule. The Alaska Public Records Act page at the Department of Law explains the full rules.
Criminal history reports follow a tighter rule under Alaska Statute 12.62.160. Most of the data is confidential. The subject of the record can still get a copy. A court order can also open the data. For a state level name based report, the fee is $20 for the first copy and $5 for each extra copy. A fingerprint based search costs $35. The Alaska Department of Public Safety runs the state system from its office in Anchorage.
Note: If a file is older than 30 years, ask the Alaska State Archives at 907-465-2270 for help pulling it from storage.
DPS Records for Wasilla Arrests
The Alaska Department of Public Safety runs the state criminal history system. A name based criminal history report costs $20 for the first copy and $5 for each extra copy. A fingerprint based search costs $35. You can send your request by mail, fax, or phone at 907-269-5767. Mail goes to the Criminal Records and Identification Bureau at 5700 E Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99507. You need a social security number and a state driver's license or state ID number to verify who you are.
The DPS portal at backgroundcheck.dps.alaska.gov handles online requests. The report shows arrests, charges, and court outcomes if they are in the state system. DPS also runs a records request portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Use it to ask for state trooper reports, incident files, and other agency records. That is a good stop after VINE when you need the full police file tied to a Wasilla jail roster booking.
