In-person attorney visits to resume in Alaska prison system March 17, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Alaska Department of Corrections is allowing attorney-client visits to resume within its facilities after a yearlong suspension related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The department said visits can resume starting Wednesday, with limits. For example, the person who is imprisoned must be fully vaccinated and attorneys will be subject to screening, including temperature checks, the department said. Face coverings and appointments will be required. Transparent dividers will be placed in visitation rooms with “enhanced cleaning” after each use, the department said. For the past year, those in department custody have had to rely on phone calls from lawyers to discuss their cases, Alaska Public Media reported.
