ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The Alaska Department of Corrections has announced that, beginning Wednesday, public visitation will resume.
“We are excited to be able to open our facilities to the public for visitation once again,” Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom said in a Monday press release. “This has been a challenging year and we appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility as we gradually restore our facilities to their pre-COVID operations.”
Under the policy changes, inmates must be fully vaccinated to receive visits, but no physical contact will be allowed. Visitors must also undergo screening procedures and wear a mask at all times. Some agencies are critical of the restrictions, which closely mirror attorney visitation rules that were overturned by a judge earlier this month.
