North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Inmate Lookup

North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Overview

North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation at Greenwood in Doddridge County. The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report says North Central provides detention for Wirt, Ritchie, Wood, Pleasants, Doddridge, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Tyler, and Wetzel counties. That annual-report language is why North Central belongs in the Wetzel County facility list even though the live Northern Regional page also names Wetzel County.

The live North Central facility page supplies the facility address, phone, fax, directions, and visitation schedule. The research did not locate a Wetzel County sheriff-operated jail or county-hosted inmate roster, so North Central should be treated as part of the state regional-jail custody system serving Wetzel-related searches. The page also needs a federal-custody note because the FY2025 report says North Central contractually houses federal detainees for the U.S. Marshals Service.

The image below comes from the official WVDCR North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility page, the source used for the facility contact details and visitation schedule.

The screenshot source is facility-specific, while the Wetzel County service-area connection comes from the current WVDCR annual report. Both source types should be read together.

North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report lists North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility with a rated population of 564. The same report says North Central provides detention for Wetzel County among several other counties and contractually houses federal detainees for the U.S. Marshals Service. No current Wetzel-only daily count was captured in the research because the WVDCR county search requires reCAPTCHA, and the build should not imply a live population number that was not inspected.

North Central's role is regional, so a person arrested in Wetzel County may be listed by county in Daily Incarcerations, by name in the WVDCR jail search, or by another custody system if a federal or immigration matter is involved. The rated population is a facility-capacity figure, not the number of Wetzel County detainees held on a given day.

How to Look Up an Inmate at North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

Use the WVDCR Offender Search for Jails for name-based regional-jail searches. The form requires a last name, accepts at least the first three letters of that last name, allows an optional first name, and uses reCAPTCHA. Use WVDCR Daily Incarcerations when the search is framed around today's Wetzel County custody list rather than one name. The county dropdown includes Wetzel County.

Because current state materials do not line up perfectly on Wetzel's regional-jail assignment, search results should be confirmed by location. If the person is not found under the jail search, check the WVDCR prison/offender search for people in prison, active supervision, or parole status. For federal sentenced prisoners, use the BOP inmate locator; for ICE custody, use ICE ODLS. North Central's USMS contract housing note means a federal pretrial custody question may also require court or U.S. Marshals follow-up.

1. Search WVDCR Offender Search for Jails by last name, adding the first name when available.
2. Run WVDCR Daily Incarcerations with Wetzel County selected if the goal is a county-filtered daily custody check.
3. Read the listed location carefully because Northern and North Central both appear in current official Wetzel-related materials.
4. Call North Central at 304-873-1384 before visiting, posting money, or relying on a recent transfer or release status.

North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Address and Contact

North Central is the facility to call when WVDCR search results or Daily Incarcerations show a Wetzel County detainee at Greenwood, or when the annual-report service-area conflict needs practical confirmation. Wetzel County official sources did not publish a sheriff jail lobby, detention phone line, or local online roster. Use WVDCR and the facility phone for custody matters, and use Wetzel County courts for case, bond, and warrant questions.

The official DCR directions say that from I-79 near Clarksburg, travelers take exit 119 to US 50 west and travel about 35 miles. From I-77 near Parkersburg, travelers take exit 176 to US 50 east and travel about 45 miles. The page then directs visitors to exit at Stone Valley Road and follow signs for the WV State Police and Regional Jail. Confirm the person's custody location before making that drive from New Martinsville or another Wetzel County community.

Visiting Someone at North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

The North Central facility page publishes non-contact visitation rules. Visits must be scheduled in advance, and the inmate must submit a request by kiosk or NCRJ Form 5-0033 if the kiosk is not functional. The published limit is one adult and two minor children, or two adults. Each inmate is permitted one visit per month, and visits are 30 minutes. The Thursday schedule is shown by the source as 3:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.; that appears unusual, but it is preserved here as published rather than silently corrected.

WVDCR also uses GettingOut for inmate calling and video visits statewide. Holiday changes, lockdown changes, dress-code details, child ID rules, attorney visit handling, and remote video pricing were not located in the Wetzel/North Central source set, so those details should be checked with the facility or GettingOut before scheduling.

Mail, Phone, and Money at North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

North Central uses the same WVDCR offender-services channels as other West Virginia regional jails. Personal mail is routed through the WVDCR scanned-mail processing address in Phoenix, Maryland. The letter should include the inmate's first and last name and OID number, the full facility name with no abbreviations, and the central PO Box. The sender's full return address must include complete first and last name. The reviewed WVDCR mail instructions do not allow photographs, attachments, enclosures, or letters to multiple offenders in one envelope for scanned letters.

The research did not locate exact commissary fees, spending limits, attorney-visit rules, or remote video prices for Wetzel detainees at North Central. ConnectNetwork lists WVDCR Site ID 179 and service types such as AdvancePay Phone, PIN Debit, Trust Fund, and Community Corrections, but current transaction terms should be verified with the vendor before sending funds.

Booking and Intake at North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

Wetzel County arrests may be made by the sheriff, municipal police, state police, or another authorized officer, then routed into the WVDCR regional jail system after arrest or warrant service. WVDCR admission policy for jails and short-term holding facilities supports a booking process that includes search, identification, fingerprints, photographs, medical screening, and classification-related steps. Jail handbook material reviewed in the research also references ID card issuance and drug testing for medical-care purposes.

After booking, a person should be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay. If the person is detained in a regional jail before initial appearance, West Virginia magistrate rules allow video conferencing by a magistrate from the charging county. A jail status entry may help identify custody, but it is not the final court record. Formal Wetzel County charges, bond orders, preliminary hearings, dismissals, and circuit filings must be checked with magistrate or circuit court records.

About North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

North Central's Wetzel relevance comes from the WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report rather than from a Wetzel sheriff jail page. That same report lists a rated population of 564 and says the facility contractually houses federal detainees for the U.S. Marshals Service. Wetzel County is in the Northern District of West Virginia for federal matters, and federal pretrial or sentenced custody can involve different locator systems, court records, or USMS contacts than an ordinary regional-jail booking.

For sentenced WVDCR prison custody, the state prison/offender search covers people under active supervision, in prison, or on parole status only with WVDCR. Persons who discharged or moved out of WVDCR custody may not appear. For BOP custody, the federal locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present and warns that release dates may change. For ICE custody, ICE ODLS supports A-number search or biographical search with exact first and last name. None of those federal or ICE tools is a public mugshot gallery.

Statewide WVDCR context also matters for North Central. FY2025 materials discuss jail overcrowding, correctional staffing, addiction recovery, rehabilitation, and reentry services. No Wetzel sheriff-operated jail construction, county-specific jail consent decree, or recent Wetzel jail closure was located in the research. The core practical point remains the same: confirm whether the person is at North Central, Northern, another WVDCR facility, or a separate federal or immigration system.
