The Fairbanks Correctional Center is the main state jail for the Fairbanks North Star Borough. It sits at 1931 Eagan Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701 and holds up to 307 inmates. The phone is (907) 458-6700. FCC handles pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates from the borough and from the wider northern region. Long-term state inmates are often moved out to Goose Creek in Wasilla when space runs tight.

The best free tool for custody status is VINE. Search names at vinelink.com or call 1-800-247-9763. VINE covers FCC and refreshes every 15 minutes. You can set text and email alerts for a court date, a release, or a move to another facility. For an inmate who was just booked by Fairbanks Police, the data may take a few hours to show up in VINE. Call FCC direct at (907) 458-6700 for a same-day check.

Actual Fairbanks jail mugshots are not posted online. The photo lives in the Alaska Department of Corrections file for sentenced stays, or in the city file for booking at the police station. To get a printed copy, file a records request with the agency that took the photo. Cite the booking number, the arrest date, and the full legal name to cut down on staff search time.

Fairbanks Borough Resources

The borough site holds links to local offices that support Fairbanks North Star Borough jail mugshots work. Start at the Fairbanks North Star Borough site for links to the assembly, the clerk, and public safety resources.

The borough does not run its own jail, but the official site points to the state DOC facility, the Fairbanks Police, and the Rabinowitz Courthouse for court case filings. Use it as a starting page for any records search across the borough.

File trooper records through the DPS portal, not the city system.

The state records portal is at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Pick Alaska State Troopers as the agency, enter the case number if known, and describe the records you need. Trooper records requests for Fairbanks incidents can take 15 to 30 days when the file must be pulled from a rural post.

Rabinowitz Courthouse Records

The Rabinowitz Courthouse at 101 Lacey Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701 is the main court for the Fourth Judicial District. The main phone is (907) 452-9251. Every criminal case filed in Fairbanks flows through this court. Free case lookups are on CourtView at records.courts.alaska.gov. Search by name, case number, hearing date, or ticket number.

Each case page lists charges, bail, hearing dates, and the arresting agency. If the person is in custody, the page often names the holding facility. Copy fees at the clerk run $2.50 per page for plain copies and $5 plus $2.50 per page for certified copies. Use Form TF-311 FAIR for mail-in requests. The Alaska public courts portal has the form and the mail-in info.

Juvenile cases are sealed under AS 47.12. Some pre-1990 files are not in CourtView. For old files, call the Fairbanks court clerk. Sealed or expunged files need a court order for release. Traffic files are listed on CourtView but some minor violations drop off after a set time.

The troopers also publish a daily log at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov. The feed lists arrests, wrecks, and other incidents across the state by date.

For anyone held in federal custody on a Fairbanks case, the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator tracks people in BOP custody since 1982. Federal defendants from Fairbanks are often held out of state because Alaska has no federal prison of its own.

Fairbanks Public Records Access

The Alaska Public Records Act is at AS 40.25.100 through 295. Agencies have 10 working days to respond to an open records request. The first 5 hours of staff time are free. Copy fees stack on top. A clear, narrow request gets the fastest reply. Broad requests cost more and take longer.

What is open and what is not depends on the statute. Most arrest blotters and incident reports are open. Full rap sheets and juvenile files are closed. Sealed cases need a court order. Ongoing investigations can be held back while the case moves forward. Release of criminal justice data is guided by AS 12.62.160.

The fastest search path is a two-step one. First, check VINE for current custody. Then, check CourtView for the court case. That covers who is in and what they face. For the mugshot itself, file a request with the Fairbanks Police records unit or with the state DOC, depending on who took the photo. Most requests come back in two to three weeks.
