West Virginia mugshots search

Here are some key ways to search for West Virginia mugshots and inmate information:

Official Government Resources

The West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDCR) provides several official online search tools:

  • Offender Search (Jails): This allows you to search for inmates in regional jails by entering at least the first three letters of the offender’s last name. You can view basic information and click “More info” to see additional details.

  • Offender Search (Prisons): This tool lets you search for inmates in state prisons using their full name or Offender Identification Number (OID).

  • Daily Incarcerations: Provides a list of recent admissions to regional jails, searchable by county.

These searches are available through the WVDCR website. The West Virginia State Police also offers resources for obtaining criminal records.

County Sheriff’s Offices

Many county sheriff’s offices in West Virginia maintain their own inmate rosters or mugshot galleries on their websites. You can check the website for the specific county you’re interested in.

Are Mugshots Public Records?

  • Mugshots and arrest records are generally considered public information in West Virginia.
  • The availability of online mugshots can vary by jurisdiction. Some counties may not provide online access.
  • Information found online should be verified, as records can change quickly.
  • There may be fees associated with obtaining detailed records.
  • Some individuals may be eligible for expungement, which would remove their records from public view.

Mugshots represent arrests, not convictions, and individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Mugshots Availability

Considerations

  • Information found online should be verified, as records can change quickly.
  • There may be fees associated with obtaining detailed records.
  • Respect privacy and use this information responsibly. Mugshots and arrest records represent arrests, not convictions.
  • Some individuals may be eligible for expungement, which would remove their records from public view.
