Find an SRJ Inmate and Check the Current Jail Roster
If you searched for an SRJ jail inmate, SRJ refers to the Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Beaver, West Virginia. The most reliable lookup is the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WV DCR) jail offender search.
Independent informational guide. This website is not operated by Southern Regional Jail or the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
How to Search the SRJ Jail Roster
- Open the WV DCR Offender Search.
- Select Offender Search (Jails) when you are looking for someone currently held in a regional jail.
- Enter the person’s name. Use the correct legal spelling whenever possible.
- Open the matching offender record and check the listed facility or custody information.
- Confirm that the location is Southern Regional Jail. Do not assume a person arrested in one of the seven SRJ counties is still housed there.
If the Inmate Does Not Appear
- Search again using the inmate’s full legal last name and alternate spelling.
- Check Daily Incarcerations if the arrest happened recently.
- Confirm the arresting county and arresting agency.
- Use the WV DCR prison search if the person may have been transferred from regional jail custody to a state correctional facility.
- For a custody question that cannot be resolved online, call SRJ at (304) 256-6726 and have the person’s full name and date of birth available.
Counties Served by Southern Regional Jail
SRJ is a regional facility, not a Raleigh County-only jail. WV DCR states that Southern Regional Jail serves these seven southeastern West Virginia counties:
| County | What this means for an inmate search |
|---|---|
| Fayette | A Fayette County arrest or court commitment may result in custody at SRJ. |
| Greenbrier | Search the statewide WV DCR jail system rather than looking only for a county jail roster. |
| Mercer | An inmate may be housed at SRJ even though the criminal case is filed in Mercer County. |
| Monroe | Use SRJ/WV DCR custody records, then use the appropriate county court for case details. |
| Raleigh | SRJ itself is located in Raleigh County near Beckley. |
| Summers | Summers County detainees may be routed through the regional jail system. |
| Wyoming | Custody may be at SRJ while the underlying court case remains in Wyoming County. |
This distinction matters when checking charges or court dates: the jail location and the county handling the criminal case may be different.
Booking, Charges, Bond and Release
The WV DCR search is the starting point for custody information, but the underlying criminal case belongs to the court with jurisdiction over the arrest or charge.
- Booking/custody: check WV DCR first.
- Charges and case status: verify through the court or clerk in the county where the case was filed.
- Bond: verify the current amount, type and conditions before attempting payment because court orders can change.
- Release: a court order or posted bond does not always mean immediate physical release; processing, holds and other commitments can affect timing.
- Transfer: if an SRJ result disappears, check the state prison search and confirm whether the person was released or moved.
SRJ Visitation
The current WV DCR facility page describes SRJ visits as 30-minute, non-contact visits scheduled in advance. The inmate must submit the visitation request using SRJ form 5-0029.
| Visit length | 30 minutes |
|---|---|
| Frequency | One visit per inmate per month |
| Visitor limit | One adult and two minor children, or two adults |
| Scheduling number | (304) 256-6738 |
| Special visits | Unusual circumstances may be directed to the Chief Correctional Officer; supporting proof may be requested. |
A 2023 SRJ facility supplement contained fixed visitation days and request deadlines. Because schedules can change, use the current facility page or scheduling number rather than relying on an older PDF before traveling.
Send Money to an SRJ Inmate
WV DCR currently allows family and friends to deposit funds into an inmate trust account through its contracted banking system.
- Confirm the inmate’s correct name and identifying information first.
- Open the official WV DCR Offender Banking page.
- Use ConnectNetwork online or its mobile app, or call 888-988-4768.
- Review the amount and recipient carefully before submitting the deposit.
An older SRJ facility supplement stated that commissary orders were due by Sunday at 7:00 p.m. for the following week’s delivery. Treat that schedule as historical unless SRJ confirms it is still in effect.
Phone Calls and Video Visits
WV DCR states that inmate calling and video-visit services are provided through GettingOut. Use the official WV DCR calling and video visits page to reach the current provider instructions instead of using an unofficial payment link.
How to Mail a Letter to an SRJ Inmate
WV DCR currently directs friends and family to send letters through its centralized mail-processing address. Do not address ordinary letters directly to 1200 Airport Road unless WV DCR instructs otherwise.
Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
PO Box 336
Phoenix, MD 21131
- Include the sender’s complete first and last name and full return address.
- Do not use initials for the sender.
- Send a letter for only one offender per envelope.
- WV DCR says photographs are not allowed in these letter envelopes.
- Do not add attachments or enclosures; the permitted handwritten or typed letter is scanned for the inmate.
Before mailing, recheck the official WV DCR inmate mail instructions because mail procedures can change.
Victim Notifications and Safety Reporting
If you need custody-status notifications rather than repeatedly checking the roster, West Virginia provides VINE. The WV DCR VINE page lists 1-866-WV4-VINE for custody information and notification registration.
For allegations of sexual abuse or sexual harassment involving someone in WV DCR custody, the agency’s PREA page lists 1-855-366-0015 and (304) 352-4724 for reporting. See the official WV DCR PREA page for current reporting options.
