SRJ Daily Incarcerations Mugshots, Recent Bookings and Charge Information
For a recent Southern Regional Jail booking, start with the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation rather than a copied mugshot gallery. WV DCR links directly to Daily Incarcerations for recent admissions and Offender Search (Jails) for name-based regional-jail searches.
After finding a possible match, confirm that the facility is Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Beaver, verify the person with more than a name, and use West Virginia court records for the underlying criminal case.
Start with the official WV search route
Use Daily Incarcerations when the arrest or booking is very recent. Use the jail offender search when you know the person’s name and need a broader custody lookup.
Recent booking → correct facility → current custody → court case and disposition

How to Check SRJ Daily Incarcerations
The Daily Incarcerations route is the best starting point when someone may have entered a West Virginia regional jail recently. Because the state system covers multiple facilities, finding a name is only the first step; you still need to verify the facility and person.
What a Daily Incarceration Result Can—and Cannot—Tell You
A daily incarceration entry is a useful lead for confirming that a person recently entered the West Virginia regional-jail system. It should not be treated as a complete criminal-history report or as proof that the person remains in custody now.
| Information | Best source | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Recent incarceration | WV Daily Incarcerations | Date, identity clues and correct regional jail |
| Current regional-jail custody | WV Offender Search (Jails) | Current facility and matching person |
| Booking photograph | Official WV result when a photo is displayed | Photo belongs to the same official record and person |
| Charge or case activity | WV Judiciary | Case number, county, charge, hearing and disposition |
| Custody-status notification | WV VINE | Registration and current notification options |
Daily Incarcerations vs. Current SRJ Custody
These searches solve different problems. Daily Incarcerations is useful for recent intake activity, while Offender Search (Jails) is the better follow-up when you need to know whether the person is connected to the current West Virginia regional-jail system.
Use Daily Incarcerations when
- The arrest reportedly happened today or recently.
- You are looking for new booking activity.
- You do not yet know whether the person appears in the regular jail search.
- You need a starting point before checking court records.
Use Offender Search (Jails) when
- You already know the person’s name.
- You need to verify the listed regional jail.
- The initial booking is no longer brand new.
- You need a stronger custody check before arranging a visit or sending money.
Neither public search should be treated as a guaranteed real-time substitute for confirmation from the correctional agency. Custody can change after release, bond, transfer or movement to another facility.
Confirm You Have the Correct Southern Regional Jail
The official WV DCR facility page identifies Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Beaver, Raleigh County. Confirming the full facility name matters because West Virginia has several regional jails with similar directional names.

How to Check Charges, Bond and the Court Case After an SRJ Booking
A booking entry may give you a charge or agency clue, but the court system is the better place to follow the legal case. West Virginia Judiciary provides statewide court-record access routes, including a free Magistrate Record Search.
Start with WV Daily Incarcerations and record the person’s exact name, relevant date, facility and any county or charge information shown.
Use WV Offender Search (Jails) to check whether the person is presently associated with a regional-jail record.
Search by first or last name or case number in the WV Magistrate Record Search. The Judiciary states that the online system can return up to 30 records.
The Magistrate Record Search does not provide the actual court documents online. For copies of a specific record, contact the magistrate court clerk in the county where the case was filed.
Use the court case—not a mugshot or booking page—to determine whether a charge was dismissed, amended, resolved by plea, tried or otherwise disposed of.
Why Someone May Not Appear in SRJ Daily Incarcerations
No result does not automatically mean that no arrest occurred. Start by checking whether you are using the right search, spelling and facility before assuming the person is absent from the correctional system.
Booking may be very recent
Processing and public-record availability are not necessarily simultaneous. Recheck the official WV DCR routes later rather than relying on a third-party repost.
The name may not match your spelling
Try the legal last name and confirm spelling. Avoid treating a similar name as a match without additional identifying information.
The person may be at another facility
West Virginia operates multiple regional jails. Check the actual facility shown in the official result instead of assuming every southern-area arrest goes to SRJ.
Custody may already have changed
A person can be released, transferred or moved after the initial incarceration entry. Use the jail search and court record as follow-up sources.
The case may be easier to locate in court records
If you know the arrest county or case number, use the WV Judiciary search to check the legal case even when a current jail result is unavailable.
The person may be in prison rather than a regional jail
The WV DCR search hub provides separate jail and prison searches. Use the prison route when the person may have moved beyond regional-jail custody.
SRJ Non-Contact Visitation: What the Official Facility Page Says
Before planning a visit, confirm that the person is still housed at Southern Regional Jail. WV DCR lists a separate telephone number for non-contact visitation scheduling: 304-256-6738.
- The inmate must submit a request for visitation using the SRJ visitation request process.
- A visit is limited to one adult and two minor children, or two adults.
- WV DCR states that each inmate is permitted one visit per month.
- Standard non-contact visits are 30 minutes long.
- Visits must be scheduled in advance of the visitation day.
- Requests involving unusual circumstances are directed through facility staff and may require supporting proof.
Use WV VINE When You Need Custody-Status Notifications
West Virginia DCR’s Victim Information and Notification Everyday service provides a separate route for custody-status information and notifications. DCR lists 1-866-WV4-VINE for custody information and phone notification registration, and also directs users to VINELink for online notification options.
VINE is useful when
- You need custody-status information.
- You are eligible and want automatic status notifications.
- A release or custody change could affect your safety planning.
Keep VINE separate from court status
VINE addresses custody notification. A criminal court case can continue after a person leaves jail, so use WV Judiciary separately for hearings, charges and disposition.
Before You Share or Rely on an SRJ Mugshot
Public arrest information is sensitive and can be misunderstood when separated from its date, facility or court outcome. A responsible search should verify identity first and preserve the distinction between an allegation and a conviction.
- Confirm the full name rather than relying on a partial match.
- Compare any age, birth-date, facility, county or booking clues the official source provides.
- Check whether the record is a recent booking, current custody entry or historical court case.
- Use the court record to check what happened after the arrest.
- Do not describe a person as convicted solely because a booking photo or charge appears online.
- Do not use this guide as a consumer report for employment, housing, credit, insurance or another FCRA-regulated decision.
