SRJ serves seven southeastern West Virginia counties, so an arrest in Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Monroe, Raleigh, Summers or Wyoming County may lead to a Southern Regional Jail record.

Where Is the Official SRJ Jail Roster?

West Virginia does not require you to rely on an unofficial static roster. The Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation provides a statewide Offender Search (Jails) for current jail lookups and a separate Daily Incarcerations tool for recent admission activity.

Offender Search — Jails

Use this first when: you need to know whether a named person currently appears in the West Virginia jail system.

Start with the last name, add the first name when necessary, and open the matching result only after checking identity details.

Daily Incarcerations

Use this when: the arrest or jail admission happened recently and you want to review facility admission activity.

Select Southern Regional Jail and the relevant date rather than treating an old daily list as a current inmate roster.

Do not copy an old roster: People can be booked, released, bonded, transferred or moved to another facility. Re-run the official search whenever current custody matters.

Choose What You Need to Know About an SRJ Inmate

Confirm current custody Search the statewide jail database and verify that the facility shown is Southern Regional Jail.
Check a recent booking Use Daily Incarcerations when the arrest happened recently and the normal name search has not yet produced the expected result.
Understand charges Match the jail result with the criminal case filed in the appropriate county court.
Check bond or hearing details Use West Virginia court records and confirm time-sensitive information with the clerk handling the case.
Visit, call or send money Confirm the inmate is still housed at SRJ before paying a vendor or planning a trip to Beaver.
Check release or transfer Re-run the jail search, review the court docket and call the facility when the online status remains unclear.

How to Use the SRJ Daily Incarcerations List

The Daily Incarcerations tool is especially useful after a recent arrest because it organizes admissions activity by date and institution.

Open the DCR Offender Search hub. Select Daily Incarcerations.
Choose Southern Regional Jail. Be careful not to confuse Southern Regional Jail with Southwestern Regional Jail or South Central Regional Jail.
Select the relevant date. Start with the arrest date and check the next calendar day when booking occurred late at night or processing crossed midnight.
Match the name and birth information. Similar names can appear, so do not rely on surname alone.
Open “View Details.” Use the detailed record to gather the information needed for court or facility follow-up.
Then switch back to the jail offender search. A daily admission entry establishes recent booking activity; the live jail search is more useful for checking current custody.
Daily admission ≠ current custody: An admission record can remain historically relevant after the inmate has bonded out, been released or transferred.

Six Checks Before You Treat an SRJ Search Result as a Match

Full name Check spelling and middle name.
Birth details Separate people with similar names.
Facility Confirm Southern Regional Jail.
Booking date Compare with the arrest timeline.
County/case Identify the originating court.
Current status Recheck before acting.
Identity warning: A matching name alone is not enough. Jail records can contain several people with similar or identical names.

SRJ Inmate Search Not Finding the Person? Try This

Problem What to Try Why It Helps
Full name returns nothing Search only the last name. Middle names, initials or spelling may differ from what you were given.
Arrest happened today Check Daily Incarcerations and search again later. Booking and database processing are not always simultaneous.
Person was arrested in an SRJ county Run the statewide jail search rather than assuming the person reached SRJ. Court, medical, transport or housing decisions can affect placement.
Person appeared yesterday but not today Check the court case and call the facility. The inmate may have bonded, been released or transferred.
Too many similar names Compare birth date, middle name, booking date and case location. Those fields reduce mistaken identity.
Search shows another jail Use the facility shown by the official database. Do not send funds or mail to SRJ based only on the arrest county.
Need official confirmation Call SRJ at 304-256-6726 with the full name and available identifiers. Facility staff can explain the appropriate next contact, subject to privacy and security rules.

How to Read an SRJ Inmate Record

Field What It Usually Tells You What to Do Next
Name The booked identity used in the correctional system. Compare spelling, middle name and birth details.
Facility The correctional location currently associated with the record. Confirm SRJ before visiting or sending funds.
Booking / admission When the inmate entered the jail system or facility record. Compare it with the arrest and court timeline.
Charges Criminal allegations or case entries associated with the custody record. Verify wording and status through the court docket.
Case or court information Helps identify the county and tribunal handling the criminal matter. Search the West Virginia Judiciary system.
Bond information May show whether a monetary or other release condition has been entered. Confirm current terms with the responsible court clerk.
Status Indicates the custody position recorded at the time you search. Refresh the search when release or transfer timing matters.
Charge is not conviction: A jail booking record can reflect allegations and pending cases. Court records should be used to determine the procedural status and final disposition.

Seven Counties Served by Southern Regional Jail

SRJ is a regional facility rather than a single-county jail. Its official service area covers these southeastern West Virginia counties:

Fayette
Greenbrier
Mercer
Monroe
Raleigh
Summers
Wyoming
Court-routing tip: The jail may be in Raleigh County while the criminal case belongs to another county. Use the county connected to the charge or case—not the jail’s street address—when searching court records.

From Arrest to an SRJ Jail Record

1 Arrest A law-enforcement agency takes the person into custody.
2 Processing Identity and arrest information are processed for correctional intake.
3 Admission A jail admission record can begin appearing in the state system.
4 Court action The appropriate court addresses charges, bail and future hearings.
5 Custody outcome The person may remain, bond out, be released or later transfer.
Do not predict release from booking time: Release depends on the case, court orders, bond conditions, holds, sentence status and correctional processing.

How to Check SRJ Bond, Charges and Court Dates

Use the jail record to identify the county and case, then move to the West Virginia Judiciary rather than relying on the jail listing alone.

Copy the inmate’s exact legal name. Include the middle name or initial when shown.
Identify the county connected with the criminal charge. It may be Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Monroe, Raleigh, Summers, Wyoming or another jurisdiction.
Open West Virginia Court Record Access. Go to West Virginia Judiciary Court Records.
Search Magistrate Court when appropriate. Magistrate courts handle misdemeanors, preliminary felony proceedings and many initial bail matters.
Search Circuit Court for felony proceedings when necessary. A case can move from preliminary proceedings into circuit court.
Match the case number and county. Do not assume every criminal case with the same name belongs to the inmate.
Review bond and event information. Online magistrate records can include bond information and scheduled case events when entered.
Confirm urgent information with the clerk. Court databases can change, and the West Virginia Judiciary advises users to validate information with the court where the case is filed.
“I am checking case __________ for __________. Can you confirm the current bond status, any active hold, the next hearing date and which court currently has the case?”

Released, Bonded or Transferred: What a Missing SRJ Result Can Mean

Bonded or released The person may no longer appear as a current jail inmate even though the criminal case remains active.
Transferred The state search may show a different correctional facility after a housing or classification move.
Court movement An inmate may leave the facility temporarily for court, medical or other authorized transport without the criminal case ending.

Best Release Verification Sequence

  1. Run the current Offender Search (Jails).
  2. Check whether another facility is displayed.
  3. Review the criminal court record.
  4. Look for bond and docket activity.
  5. Call SRJ when the online information does not answer the custody question.
Pickup warning: Do not begin a long trip based on an estimated release time. Correctional release processing can continue after the court authorizes release.

Southern Regional Jail Visitation Rules

SRJ’s official facility page describes visitation as non-contact and requires the inmate to submit an SRJ visitation request before the visit is scheduled.

Who starts the request? The inmate submits the visitation request using SRJ Form 5-0029.
How many visitors? One adult and two minor children, or two adults, are permitted under the published facility rule.
How often? The official SRJ page states that each inmate is permitted one visit per month.
How long? Standard visits are 30 minutes and non-contact.
Longer or special visit? Special circumstances require approval through facility administration, with supporting proof potentially required.
Scheduling number Call 304-256-6738 for current non-contact visitation scheduling information.
Before driving to Beaver: Confirm that the inmate is still at SRJ, that the visit has actually been scheduled, what identification is required, current dress restrictions and whether holiday operations changed the schedule.

SRJ Inmate Phone Calls and Video Visits

The West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation currently identifies GettingOut as its contracted platform for offender calling and video visits.

Verify the inmate Confirm that the person is still at Southern Regional Jail before creating or funding an account.
Use the state service page Start from WV DCR Offender Calling and Video Visits.
Check the account identity Use the inmate and facility information required by the approved platform.
Review current charges Check the service’s live pricing and support information before adding funds.
Scam check: Do not send money to a person claiming that an inmate must pay a private “release fee” through a gift card, cryptocurrency wallet or person-to-person payment account.

How to Send Money to an SRJ Inmate

West Virginia DCR currently directs family and friends to its Offender Banking system for trust-account deposits.

Confirm current SRJ custody. Re-run the jail search before sending funds.
Copy the inmate’s exact identity information. A correct name and offender identifier reduce the chance of selecting the wrong account.
Open the official banking instructions. Use WV DCR Offender Banking.
Choose the approved deposit route. The state currently directs users to ConnectNetwork online or app services and provides phone deposit access.
Verify the facility and inmate before checkout. Do not submit based only on a matching name.
Review the current service fee. Vendor charges can change, so check the final amount before authorizing payment.
Save the transaction confirmation. Keep the confirmation number, amount, date and inmate identification until the deposit is credited.
DCR banking phone route: The current state banking page lists 888-988-4768 for phone deposits.

How to Send a Letter to an SRJ Inmate

West Virginia DCR has a centralized letter-scanning process. Personal letters are not mailed directly to the Beaver facility under the current statewide instructions.

Current DCR letter format Inmate’s First and Last Name and OID Number
Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
PO Box 336
Phoenix, MD 21131

Before Mailing

  • Use the inmate’s full first and last name
  • Include the inmate OID number
  • Write the full facility name without abbreviating it
  • Include your full first and last name
  • Include a complete return address
  • Send a handwritten or typed letter only
Current DCR restrictions: The statewide mail page says photographs are not accepted with scanned letters, attachments or enclosures are not allowed, and one envelope cannot contain letters for multiple inmates.

Review WV DCR Sending Letters to an Inmate immediately before mailing because mail-processing rules can change.

What Should the Family Do Next?

If the arrest just happened Search Daily Incarcerations, then repeat the normal jail offender search after booking has had time to process.
If you need the bond amount Match the jail record to the county criminal case and confirm the current bond with the court handling it.
If the inmate disappeared from SRJ search Check whether the person was released or transferred and look for new court activity.
If you want to visit Wait until the inmate initiates the visitation request and confirm the appointment through SRJ.
If you want to send money Confirm facility and identity first, then use the DCR banking route rather than an unofficial deposit website.
If you are waiting for release Ask for current custody status rather than assuming the court hearing time is the jail pickup time.
If a charge looks wrong Check the originating court record. Jail listings are not substitutes for the official criminal docket.
If you need legal advice Contact the inmate’s attorney, appointed counsel or a qualified West Virginia lawyer rather than asking jail staff to interpret the case.
If you cannot identify the right record Call with the full name, date of birth, approximate arrest date and arresting county.
