Find an Inmate at North Central Regional Jail in West Virginia
For a current North Central Regional Jail inmate, booking, or jail roster search, start with the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation. North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is at 1 Lois Lane, Greenwood, WV 26415 in Doddridge County.
How to search the North Central Regional Jail roster
- Open the WVDCR offender search. Use the official West Virginia Offender Search page.
- Select “Offender Search (Jails).” Do not choose the prison search if you are checking a recent regional-jail booking.
- Enter the inmate’s name. Use the correct legal spelling. Adding both first and last name helps when several people have similar names.
- Complete the verification and search. Review the matching records rather than assuming the first result is the correct person.
- Confirm the location. Look for North Central Regional Jail as the current institution. The statewide system includes other West Virginia regional jails.
- Open the inmate detail. Compare identifying information such as name and date of birth where displayed. A photograph may appear when one is available.
- For time-sensitive information, call the jail. Transfers, releases, court orders, and new bookings can change before an online record reflects the latest event.
What the official jail search can tell you
If the inmate does not appear
| Situation | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Arrest happened today | Allow time for booking and data entry, then check Daily Incarcerations and the jail search again. |
| Name returns no result | Check spelling, try the legal name, and avoid relying on a nickname. |
| Person was transferred | Use the statewide jail search because the person may now be held at another WVDCR facility. |
| Person received a state-prison sentence | Return to the WVDCR search page and use Offender Search (Prisons). |
| You need immediate confirmation | Call North Central Regional Jail at 304-873-1384. |

The current WVDCR facility page lists Doddridge, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Pleasants, Ritchie, Wirt, and Wood counties among the counties served. Because regional-jail assignments can change, always use the live offender search to confirm the inmate’s actual location.
Recent bookings and Daily Incarcerations
The statewide Daily Incarcerations section is useful when you are looking for a recent admission rather than a specific long-term custody record.
- Open the WVDCR Offender Search page.
- Select Daily Incarcerations.
- Review the available county or institution options.
- Look for North Central Regional Jail when checking institution admissions.
- Open the individual offender search afterward when you need a specific person’s current record.
WVDCR warns that incarceration information can change quickly and may not always reflect the person’s true current location, release date, or status. For a release happening today, a transportation pickup, or another urgent matter, confirm directly with the facility.
Charges, bond, bail, and court records
The jail roster and the court docket answer different questions. Use the jail system to confirm custody; use the West Virginia Judiciary for the criminal case.
| You need | Best source |
|---|---|
| Current jail location | WVDCR Offender Search (Jails) |
| Recent incarceration | WVDCR Daily Incarcerations |
| Criminal case number | West Virginia Judiciary court-record search |
| Hearing or docket activity | Magistrate or Circuit Court record search |
| Final case disposition | Court record, not the jail roster |
| Current bond conditions | Verify the active court order or contact the appropriate court/jail before paying |
West Virginia’s free Magistrate Record Search accepts a first name, last name, or case number and can return matching case information. Court documents themselves may require contacting the clerk in the county where the case was filed.
