Alaska prisoners who are vaccinated can be visited by family and others starting Wednesday Share on Facebook Print article For the first time in more than a year, the public will be allowed into Alaska prisons and jails to visit incarcerated people starting this week, the Department of Corrections said Monday. Correctional facilities throughout the state stopped visitations last March as a pandemic precaution. The corrections department will begin allowing public visitation with fully vaccinated prisoners on Wednesday, the department said in a statement. Incarcerated people must have received their final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at least two weeks prior to any visits, the department said.
