Viking:  You prompted me to look further, and I find that the likelihood of an Alaskan prisoner having been housed at Pelican Bay questionable at best.  The Alaska Constitution, statutory law, and an AK Supreme Court decision prohibits Alaska's prisoners to have been sent directly to an out-of-state super-max, not even in an "exchange".  Nor could another state place an Alaskan prisoner into one, since a waiver from Alaska would be impermissible.  Prisoners who had acted up that much were simply returned to Alaska.  But DOC records do show the other State and Federal placements, prior to the private prison placements.  Apparently, for a while, Alaska's prisoners had been scattered among several State and Federal prisons, Which may have even included Pleasanton, CA, a minimum security prison.  In my opinion, DOC record-keeping is like "receivable" and "payable" being kept in a grocery box.
