Juli:
In HBP, DD mentions (briefly) that it requires some sort of permit to go to Azkaban, remember it was  hard for him (Dumbledore, chief wizard of the wizenmagot and so on) to visit Gaunt (Tom's uncle - forgot the name) and to visit Mrs Smith's house elf... So I'm guessing it's pretty hard to get permision.
 
>> Are there wizards working there beside the dementors (not the best job in the world, ay?)? I mean, beside guarding duties, there are the other duties like feed the prisoners. I think it'd be quite a punishment having to eat food being prepared and served by dementors... Talk about soul food! 

Juli:
I think the dementors do all the work around Azkaban. In PoA, when Sirius was telling Harry & Co how he escaped from prison, he said that while the dementors where giving him his food, he escaped as padfoot.

 

Also, in GoF Sirius says that the dementors burried MrsCrouch!Barty Jr...

 

Do you think anyone would be able to work besides a dementor? Remember the whole purpose of dementor guarding Azkaban is that the prisioners lock themselves up inside their heads, walls aren't needed. So whoever was to work there (or even stay for over a few minutes or hours) would also be in prison.

 

Juli - I'm back!
