FAQs

How do I find out if someone is in jail in WV? ›

To find offenders incarcerated in state prisons, use the WV Prison Offender Search. Interested persons may query the database with an offender's last and first name, or an Offender ID (OID) number (the first four numbers, at least).

The Central Regional Jail and Corrections Facility is located in Flatwoods, just off of Interstate 79 in Braxton County.

To find someone in jail, you can start with your State Department of Corrections. If you go to the state's web page, you will be able to find a phone number to contact. You'll also find resources like Sex Offender Registry, Offender Contact information, and Offender Visitation forms.

Users are instructed to call or visit the magistrate court clerk in the county where a case is filed to obtain copies of specific court records. The clerk will charge a nominal fee required by law. The search system helps callers and visitors to know what to ask for and which county they need to contact.

Speaking directly with a county jail officer or clerk can help you obtain the information you're looking for, especially if you don't have access to online records. Call a non-emergency county law enforcement department and ask to speak to someone about a specific arrest or inmate.

The Jail System

West Virginia has 10 jails in 55 counties. The jail population in 2020 was 5,110.

Virginia has 71 jails in 133 counties.

One way to find information about inmates in Virginia is to use the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) website. This website provides an inmate locator tool that allows you to search for inmates by name, offender number, or location.

Maximum security prisons generally hold prisoners serving long sentences. These prisoners have commited murder, robbery, kidnapping, treason, or over serious crimes. High stone walls or strong chain fences surround most maximum security prisons.

What city has the biggest county jail? ›

Background. Los Angeles County operates the world's largest jail system, and despite an incarceration rate well below the national average, its jails remain critically overcrowded.

The Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is located in Martinsburg in the eastern panhandle.

Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator to find out when a prisoner is or was expected to be released. To learn more details about an inmate, find out how to submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to BOP.

Simply go to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Inmate Locator tool. You can search the BOP inmate locator by the inmate's BOP Register Number or by first and last name. If searching by name, you can further limit search results by inputting their race, age, and gender.

Look up state and local prison records

For state and local prison records, contact the state's department of corrections.
