This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking or court record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.

The following routes cover the most common requests:

  • For a past release or release record, start with the full McDowell search and request path.
  • For parole, call the Welch Parole Office. For court probation, use County Probation and the circuit clerk.
  • For a recent SWRJCF departure, call the jail because no official 24-hour or 72-hour release feed was found.
  • For a state sentence date or alert, use the WVDCR prison search and West Virginia VINE.
  • For a specific facility, use its page in the Facilities footer column.
  • For federal custody, use BOP. Use ICE only when an immigration handoff is supported by the case.
