Official Wood County Record Contacts
For a recent Wood County arrest, the right office depends on where the person is in the process.

Use these starting points based on the record you need:
- For someone believed to be in adult regional jail custody, start with jail inmate records and then contact North Central Regional Jail if the online search is unclear.
- For booking photos or arrest images, review jail roster mugshots and use the sheriff FOIA email for sheriff-created records.
- For charges, court dates, complaints, or dispositions, use court records after a jail arrest and the magistrate or circuit clerk.
- For a facility-specific question, use the detention facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or parole-status search, use the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation offender locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE detainee locator instead of Wood County jail contacts.
