🎃👻 Things got a little spooky (and a whole lot of fun) at Mat-Su Pretrial! 🍬

The staff at Mat-Su Pretrial facility proved that a little Halloween spirit can go a long way, even behind bars!

From witches and wild costumes to a walking hot dog, our crew went all out, bringing plenty of laughs, smiles, and sweet treats to the facility. Staff dressed up and made their rounds passing out candy, proving that even in corrections, there's room for a little spooky fun!

A big shoutout to the Mat-Su Pretrial team for bringing some Halloween cheer to an otherwise ordinary day. We love seeing our staff get creative and have a little fun along the way!

🎃 Happy Halloween from the Alaska Department of Corrections! 👻🍭

We're squealing with excitement at Point Mackenzie Correctional Farm! 🐷🐽

It's a baby boom at the farm! Two proud mama pigs have welcomed 18 healthy, adorable piglets into the world, and we're not done yet. More little snouts and curly tails are on the way!

These spotted little bundles of joy are already stealing hearts, and we couldn't resist sharing a little cuteness with you.

Stay tuned for more updates from our growing farm family! 🐖💕

🌱🥕 A Bountiful Harvest at Point Mackenzie Correctional Farm! 🥔🍅
The 2026 growing season at PMCF has delivered impressive results! The farm produced more than 268,500 pounds of fresh produce, with an estimated value of over $359,000, including produce currently in storage.

The harvest included everything from potatoes and zucchini to lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash, all grown without pesticides or petroleum-based fertilizers.

Beyond supplying PMCF's kitchen, thousands of pounds of fresh produce were distributed to other Alaska Department of Corrections institutions, local food banks, and nonprofit organizations, helping reduce food costs and support Alaskans in need.

❄️ And the growing doesn't stop when winter arrives! Building on last year's success, PMCF will once again keep several greenhouses operating throughout the winter, providing fresh produce year-round.

It's a great example of how agriculture, resourcefulness, and community partnerships can make a lasting difference!

🧥 Cold Weather Is Coming, and We Need Your Help! ❄️
As temperatures continue to drop across Alaska, the Inmate Release Clothing Program at Anchorage Correctional Complex is asking our community to help ensure individuals leaving our facilities have the warm clothing they need for a fresh start.

For many individuals returning to the community, something as simple as a warm jacket, sturdy shoes, or a comfortable hoodie can make a meaningful difference.

We are especially in need of men's jackets (size XL), hoodies (sizes L and XL), shirts, pants, and boots and shoes (sizes 9, 10, 11, and 12). Clean, gently used clothing in good condition is greatly appreciated!

💙 Your generosity can help someone stay warm, feel confident, and take their next steps toward a successful return to the community.

📍 Donations can be dropped off at the front desk on either the East or West side of Anchorage Correctional Complex, located at 1400 E. 4th Avenue in Anchorage.

A little kindness can go a long way, especially during an Alaska winter! ❄️

Can't donate? You can still help by sharing this post! Together, we can make a difference, one warm jacket at a time.

🎉 Happy Alaska Day! 🏔️
Today, we commemorate the 159th anniversary of the formal transfer of Alaska from the Russian Empire to the United States on October 18, 1867.

This historic event took place in Sitka, where 250 U.S. Army troops marched to Castle Hill. There, the Russian flag was lowered, and the American flag was raised, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Alaska’s history.

As we celebrate Alaska Day, we reflect on our state's rich history, diverse cultures, and remarkable heritage that make the Last Frontier such an extraordinary place to call home. ❤️

Community service in action. 💪❄️

On October 1, DOC residents of GEO-run Community Residential Centers spent five hours cleaning a five-mile stretch of Zero Lake Road, removing an impressive 2,420 pounds of trash, tires, scrap metal and other debris from the area.

Despite snowy conditions, the crew stayed focused and worked hard to make a visible difference in the community.

Projects like this give those in DOC custody an opportunity to contribute, take pride in meaningful work and give back to the communities they will return to.

Thank you to GEO Reentry for its assistance and oversight in helping make this DOC community service project a success.
