Why This Guide Exists
West Virginia provides several public paths for jail and inmate information, but Boone County can be confusing because local arrestees are handled through Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Holden. WV DCR operates the regional jail search for pretrial detainees and short-term jail custody, the state prison locator covers sentenced prisoners under DCR supervision, and federal or immigration custody requires separate BOP or ICE tools. This site brings those rosters, locators, facility details, and request steps together for Boone County users.
