Use the following routing guide when you know the type of question but not the office.
- For someone currently held after a Hardy County arrest, start with jail inmate records and the WVDCR regional jail search, then call Potomac Highlands for urgent custody questions.
- For booking photos, use the jail roster mugshots guidance and direct record requests to the proper custodian.
- For filed charges, hearings, bond orders, or dispositions, use court records after a jail arrest and contact the magistrate or circuit clerk.
- For facility-specific visitation, address, or phone information, use the detention facility page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced West Virginia prisoner or active supervision record, use the WVDCR prison and supervision offender search.
- For federal custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, U.S. Marshals district contacts, or ICE Online Detainee Locator System as appropriate.
