Located at 1810 Center Creek Rd in Nome, AK, AMCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. AMCC offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

AMCC, serving Nome, Kotzebue, and surrounding regions, has been operational since 1985, replacing the old Territorial Jail located in the Federal Building. Occupying a 33,215-square-foot facility on approximately 7.5 acres of land, it has a maximum capacity of 128 inmates. As a booking facility, AMCC accommodates both male and female inmates, primarily those awaiting sentencing. Inmates serving longer sentences are transferred to larger institutions within the state. With a dedicated staff of 48, AMCC caters to all custody levels.

The correctional institution, housing inmates from minimum to maximum custody levels, adopts a community-oriented approach, actively participating in community clean-up efforts and various community service projects. AMCC safeguards the public by securely housing male and female sentenced and unsentenced inmates across all custody levels—minimum, medium, close, and maximum—ensuring supervision consistent with their custody and security level.

AMCC boasts one of the most extensive arrays of programs for its inmates, covering educational, vocational, and skill-building initiatives. Inmates have the opportunity to earn their GED while incarcerated, learn computer basics and typing skills, and enroll in vocational studies such as heater maintenance and repair, commercial driver's license preparation, first aid, marine survival courses, and more.

Recognizing the rights of victims, AMCC ensures proper victim notification of inmate events as mandated by state law. Additionally, the institution prioritizes maintaining a secure, safe, sanitary, and healthy environment by closely supervising inmates and adhering to Department of Corrections policies and procedures.
