Wasilla, AK Goose Creek Correctional Center View
Goose Creek Correctional Center is a state correctional facility in the Wasilla/Point MacKenzie area of Matanuska-Susitna County, Alaska. It is operated by the Alaska Department of Corrections, not by a county sheriff. The facility houses adults in state custody, primarily sentenced inmates, and may also hold inmates with pending court matters or transfers depending on Department of Corrections placement decisions. Its role is to provide secure custody, supervision, and correctional services within Alaska’s statewide correctional system rather than serve only as a local city or borough jail.

How to Find an Inmate at Goose Creek Correctional Center
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for someone held at the facility. Inmate rosters and state custody records typically list the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information when available, custody status, and current facility location. Records are not always searchable immediately after arrest or transfer because intake, identification, classification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or Alaska Department of Corrections for guidance.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Goose Creek Correctional Center?
Visits usually require the visitor to be approved in advance and to follow the facility’s schedule and rules. Contact the facility or check the Alaska Department of Corrections visitation information before traveling, because visiting days, times, and procedures can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting Goose Creek Correctional Center?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Visitors should arrive on time, dress appropriately, and avoid bringing extra personal items because lockers or storage may be limited.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates usually cannot receive incoming calls, but they may be able to place approved outgoing calls through the facility’s phone provider. If video visits are offered, families generally must create an account with the approved service and follow the posted schedule and rules.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name and identification number, if known, and use the facility’s official mailing address. Mail is screened for safety, and items such as cash, contraband, or unauthorized materials are not accepted.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary lets inmates buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family and friends may be able to deposit funds through the approved payment system, but limits, fees, and posting times can vary.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Goose Creek Correctional Center?
Bail is set by the court, not by the facility. If the inmate is eligible for release on bail, bond is usually posted through the court or the agency listed in the case instructions; sentenced inmates may not be eligible for bail.
What happens during the intake process at Goose Creek Correctional Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review paperwork, screen for medical and safety needs, assign housing, and enter custody information into the system. This process can take several hours, so the inmate may not appear in the search results immediately after arrival.
