Eastern Regional Jail • Martinsburg, West Virginia
ERJ Martinsburg WV Mugshots: Find Recent Bookings, Photos and Jail Records
If you are looking for a recent Martinsburg-area arrest, start with the official West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WV DCR) jail search. Confirm that the result names Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, then use Daily Incarcerations for very recent custody entries and West Virginia court records for what happened after booking.
How to Search Official ERJ Martinsburg WV Mugshots
The safest place to begin is the WV DCR Offender Search hub. It separates regional-jail custody from prison custody and also links to Daily Incarcerations. That distinction matters because a person who was booked at ERJ can later be released, transferred, or moved into another correctional status.
How to Check Recent Martinsburg Arrests and Fresh ERJ Bookings
For a very recent arrest, the standard name search may not be the only place to check. WV DCR maintains a separate Daily Incarcerations tool for current regional-jail information. Use it when the arrest may have happened today or within the last several days.
Arrest happened very recently
Start with Daily Incarcerations, then confirm the person through the jail name search once the record is available.
You know the name, not the date
Use Offender Search (Jails). Confirm that the facility is Eastern Regional Jail and compare identifying details.
The person used to be at ERJ
If the person no longer appears, check court records, VINE, and—when transfer to state prison is possible—the WV DCR prison search.
A missing same-day result does not prove that no arrest occurred. Intake, data entry, release, transfer, a different spelling, or custody at another facility can all change what appears publicly. For urgent custody questions, use the official search first and then call ERJ at 304-267-0045.
What an ERJ Jail Record or Booking Photo Can Tell You
WV DCR policy requires jail booking staff to fingerprint and photograph inmates during admission, with front and profile photographs uploaded to the Offender Information System. Public-facing jail results can include a photograph when available, but the information shown can vary by record and status.
| Information | Best source | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Current regional-jail custody | WV DCR Offender Search (Jails) | Confirm the person is currently listed and verify the facility. |
| Recent intake or booking | WV Daily Incarcerations | Useful when the arrest is fresh and you are checking recent admissions. |
| Booking photo | WV DCR jail record when available | Use the photo only as one identifier; compare name, birth date, facility and booking details. |
| Booking date or custody details | WV DCR jail record | Use these details to separate an old booking from a current one. |
| Charge or court order information | Jail record, then court search | Jail wording is not the final case outcome. Confirm it in the appropriate court record. |
| Case filings and disposition | WV Judiciary court-record search | Use magistrate or circuit records depending on where the case is filed. |
| Release or custody-status alerts | WV VINE | Register for automated status notifications instead of repeatedly checking an old mugshot page. |
Eastern Regional Jail in Martinsburg: Facility Details
Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
Address:
94 Grapevine Road

Who ERJ serves
WV DCR lists Eastern Regional Jail as serving Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties in the eastern panhandle. A person arrested outside Martinsburg can therefore still be housed at ERJ.
This is why you should use the county or court information in the booking record instead of assuming every ERJ case belongs to Berkeley County.
How to Find Court Records After an ERJ Booking
Jail and court records answer different questions. The jail search tells you about custody. The West Virginia Judiciary tells you about the case. If you need to know whether charges were filed, what the case number is, what hearings occurred, or how the case was resolved, use the West Virginia Court Record Access page.
Magistrate Court
The statewide Magistrate Record Search is free and can be searched by first name, last name, or case number. The Judiciary says results can include general case information, but the underlying court documents are not available through that magistrate search.
If you need a copy of a magistrate-court document, contact the clerk in the county where the case was filed. Copy fees may apply.
Circuit Court
The Judiciary’s WVPASS circuit-court search provides statewide access to public circuit-court records. Public searches are available online; registration and document-download rules are handled by the WVPASS system.
Use circuit records when the case has moved beyond magistrate court or when the filing itself is in circuit court.
Which Court Should You Check for an ERJ Case?
Eastern Regional Jail serves three counties, so the jail’s Martinsburg address does not tell you which court has the case. Use the county shown in the jail or court information, then contact that county’s clerk if the online search does not provide what you need.
| County | Magistrate Court contact | Circuit Court contact | Official county page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berkeley | Berkeley County Judicial Center, 380 West South Street, Martinsburg, WV 25401 Magistrate Clerk: 304-264-1957 | 380 West South Street, Suite 2200, Martinsburg, WV 25401 Circuit Clerk: 304-264-1918 | Berkeley County court information |
| Jefferson | 110 North George Street, Charles Town, WV 25414 Magistrate Clerk: 304-728-3233 ext. 342 | 119 North George Street, Charles Town, WV 25414 Circuit Clerk: 304-728-3231 | Jefferson County court information |
| Morgan | 77 Fairfax Street, Room 202, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411 Magistrate Clerk: 304-258-8631 | 77 Fairfax Street, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411 Circuit Clerk: 304-258-8554 | Morgan County court information |
Court personnel, phone numbers and office arrangements can change. Use the linked Judiciary county page to confirm current details before traveling or requesting copies.
Why You May Not Find a Recent ERJ Mugshot or Jail Record
How to Check Release or Custody Changes
If your real concern is whether someone has been released or had a custody-status change, an old booking page is the wrong tool. West Virginia DCR provides Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE).
WV DCR says VINE can provide custody-status information and automatic notifications. The state page lists the VINE phone line as 1-866-WV4-VINE, and online registration is available through VINELink.
After You Find Someone at ERJ: Visitation, Mail, Money and Calls
Many people who search a mugshot actually need to contact or support the person in custody. Use WV DCR’s official service pages rather than an old jail-directory article because vendors and procedures can change.
Schedule an ERJ visit
The ERJ visitation document currently posted by WV DCR says visits are scheduled by phone during normal business hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at least one day before the intended visit. It lists 30-minute visits and one visit per inmate per week.
Because schedules can change, call 304-267-0045 or the listed visitation line 304-267-0048 before traveling. Read the official ERJ visitation information.
Send a letter
WV DCR’s current mail instructions route letters through its mail-processing address. Use the incarcerated person’s first and last name, OID number and the full facility name—no abbreviation—followed by PO Box 336, Phoenix, MD 21131.
The sender must include a full return address and full name. WV DCR says photographs, attachments and enclosures are not allowed with these letters. Check the current mail rules.
Add money to an offender account
WV DCR lists ConnectNetwork for offender banking. Deposits can be made online, by app, or by automated phone at 888-988-4768.
Review the official offender-banking page before sending funds so you use the current vendor and process.
Calling and video visits
WV DCR currently directs families to GettingOut for offender calling and video-visit services. Account setup and app information are linked from the state’s service page.
How to Read an Arrest Record Without Misidentifying Someone
A mugshot search can produce same-name matches, old bookings and records that no longer reflect current custody. Before you share a record or rely on it, compare several independent identifiers instead of using only the face or name.
- Match the full name and spelling.
- Compare date of birth when the public record provides it.
- Check the booking date so you do not confuse a past arrest with a current one.
- Confirm the facility is Eastern Regional Jail.
- Check the county or court named in the record.
- Use the court record to see whether the charge or case status later changed.

Best Next Step
If you need an ERJ Martinsburg WV mugshot or recent booking, begin with the official WV jail search and confirm the facility. If the arrest is very recent, compare Daily Incarcerations. Once you have the person’s correct name, booking date and county, use West Virginia court records for the case itself and VINE when you need custody-status alerts.
The important distinction is simple: jail records explain custody; court records explain the case. Using both prevents many of the errors caused by old screenshots, copied mugshot pages and same-name matches.
