Lookup Pleasants County Inmate Records

Pleasants County Jail Roster Overview

Pleasants County does not publish a sheriff-run county jail page or a local sheriff roster. The public custody path is the WV Regional Jails Offender Search, with North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility serving Pleasants County cases. The regional jail is operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, so custody questions go to DCR and the facility rather than to a county jail desk at the courthouse.

The Pleasants County Sheriff's Office still matters for local arrest records. Its official page lists Sheriff Charles R. Mankins, the 305 Barkwill Street law-enforcement address, phone (304) 684-2285, and weekday office hours. That office handles law enforcement, prisoner transportation, process service, and extraditions. It does not replace the DCR jail search for live custody. Use the sheriff for sheriff-created reports or FOIA routing, and use North Central for custody, visitation, mail, and release verification.

Use Pleasants County Inmate Search

The regional jail search is best when the person's name is known and the arrest or commitment is recent enough that the person may still be in jail custody. The portal requires at least the first three letters of the last name and accepts an optional first name. CAPTCHA is required before submission. No login or payment requirement was observed in the research.

1. Open the WV Regional Jails Offender Search and read the DCR disclaimer before searching.
2. Enter at least three letters of the last name. Add the first name if results are too broad.
3. Use Daily Incarcerations when the person may have been booked today and a name search does not work yet.
4. Call North Central at (304) 873-1384 before relying on a roster result for travel, bond, or release timing.
5. Search the WV DCR prison locator if the person has moved from jail custody to prison, supervision, or parole status.

New arrests may appear first on Daily Incarcerations. That page lets users select a county, including Pleasants, and also shows admissions by institution. On the inspection date in the research, North Central admissions listed time, name fields, birth date, gender, and a total count. Full detail was not available in the accessible text view.

Pleasants County Roster Search Fields

The search forms are narrow. That is useful because it limits guesswork, but it also means spelling, aliases, and recent booking timing can affect results. A person booked under a full legal name may not appear under a nickname. If the regional jail search does not find a person, check Daily Incarcerations, call the facility, and then move to court or prison sources based on the case stage.

What Pleasants County Inmate Profiles Show

The research captured the Daily Incarcerations admissions summary, not a complete public profile behind CAPTCHA. That distinction matters. The summary showed identity and admission fields, but not charges, bond, mugshot, housing unit, arresting agency, or release status in accessible text. Do not treat missing fields as proof that the information does not exist. Treat them as fields not confirmed by the captured source.

Pleasants County Jail and Prison Lookup

Use the custody type to choose the system. North Central is a regional jail for Pleasants County arrests and jail custody. Saint Marys Correctional Center and Jail is a DCR state prison in Pleasants County. Federal and immigration custody use separate systems. The same person can move from one system to another as the case changes.

Pleasants County Jail Facilities

There are two major DCR facilities to separate in Pleasants County inmate records research. North Central is the primary jail channel serving the county, while Saint Marys is a state prison inside the county. Calling the wrong facility can waste time, especially when trying to schedule a visit or send funds.

Booking Process in Pleasants County

Booking usually begins after an arrest by the sheriff, St. Marys Police, state police, or another agency. The sheriff page says the office administers prisoner transportation, mental-patient transportation, and extraditions. The practical jail intake is through WV DCR's regional jail system, most often North Central for Pleasants County cases.

A normal custody path is arrest, transport, jail intake, identity and admission paperwork, search, photo or fingerprint steps, medical screening, classification, and housing assignment. Exact timing was not published in the captured DCR admission policy text, so the safer route is to verify live status with the jail. First appearance and bond are court functions, not sheriff website functions.

Pleasants County Jail Visitation Records

North Central visits are non-contact. The inmate must submit a request through the kiosk under "Visitation Requests" or use NCRJ Form 5-0033 if the kiosk is not working. Each inmate is allowed one visit per month. Each visit is limited to one adult and two minor children or two adults, and the standard visit length is 30 minutes. Longer visits need prior approval 24 hours before from the superintendent or chief correctional officer.

Contact Pleasants County Inmates

WV DCR publishes statewide offender service rules for mail, phone, video, and money. Mail to offenders uses a centralized scanning address in Phoenix, Maryland. The sender must include a full return address with complete first and last name, and the letter must list the inmate's first and last name, OID number, full facility name with no abbreviations, and PO Box 336, Phoenix, MD 21131. Photographs, attachments, enclosures, and envelopes containing multiple offenders are not allowed under the captured DCR mail rules.

Confirm custody before sending money. A person who has been released, transferred, or moved from jail to prison may need a different facility name or identifier.

Pleasants County Booking Record Requests

If a jail inmate record is not online, use a written public-records request to the custodian. West Virginia FOIA requires the request to reasonably specify the information sought and requires the custodian to act as soon as practicable and within five business days excluding weekends and legal holidays. Ask DCR for DCR jail records, the sheriff for sheriff-created arrest or incident records, and the clerk for court documents.

The Pleasants County Circuit Clerk FAQ says public information includes civil and criminal information, copies are $1, and faxes are $2. Court documents are not available through the Magistrate Record Search portal itself, so call or visit the clerk for copies after identifying the case.

West Virginia VINE is a separate safety and notification channel, not a substitute roster. DCR says victims can use VINE for custody status and notification, and the statewide portal is available for West Virginia searches. That can help when a Pleasants County case involves release alerts, transfer alerts, or status changes after booking. No official Pleasants County sheriff or police roster app was found during research, so do not assume an app-only inmate list, warrant list, or mugshot feed exists.

FOIA custodian

The office that keeps the record being requested, such as DCR, the sheriff, or a court clerk.

OID

The offender identification number used in the WV DCR prison and supervision locator.

VINE

A victim notification and custody-status service used for alerts, not full court case documents.
