The West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDOCR) oversees all the prisons and jails in the state. The agency also maintains all the inmate records containing all the details of the inmates incarcerated in the correctional facilities.  

  • West Virginia Prison Inmate Search  

All the inmate records in the state can be accessed by the public free of charge. The records are updated, but sometimes may not be accurate because the inmate release date, location, release date, and other detail change quickly.  

You can perform a search through the West Virginia offender locator tool for daily incarcerations in prisons and jails.  

When searching, you should only give the county you are searching for before accessing the records. For the searches, you only provide the first and last names of the inmates. Juvenile records aren’t available to the public, so the West Virginia inmate search doesn’t detail juvenile offenders. 

If you have problems searching for an inmate, contact the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation at (304) 558-2036). 

  • West Virginia Jail Inmate Search 

An inmate in West Virginia is incarcerated in prison or jail, depending on their crime severity and sentence duration. Using the search tool, you can find an inmate in a West Virginia jail. In this case, you have to specifically choose “offender search (jails)” to get the database for the inmate records.  

It’s also possible for you to search for the inmate’s release date online or contact the jail administrator. However, you cannot get these details if the record custodian makes the data private or confidential. This may happen if availing of the release date puts the inmate’s safety at risk.  

In this case, you will only access the release date if you are an attorney, immediate family member, or a justice official.
