Lorrie Yeager Juvenile Overview
Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center is operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Bureau of Juvenile Services. It is a juvenile center in Parkersburg, not a public adult jail. DCR describes the facility as coed and hardware-secure, with locked doors, a highly structured environment, and a fenced recreation area. It holds youth charged with conduct that would be punishable by incarceration if committed by an adult.
That juvenile role controls how custody information should be handled. A youth at Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center should not be searched through the adult regional jail offender search, the adult Daily Incarcerations list, or the Wood County inmate roster path. Public adult lookup tools are built for regional jail and state adult offender records. Juvenile custody is more restricted, and access normally runs through parents, guardians, attorneys, juvenile probation, the court, and the facility's staff.
The official DCR page for Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center identifies the facility, custody setting, address, phone, superintendent, capacity, and family visitation framework.
The facility image belongs with juvenile custody information because it shows the official DCR source, not an adult jail roster page.
Lorrie Yeager Bed Capacity
Research for Wood County found a sourced facility capacity for Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center. DCR describes it as a 24-bed juvenile center. The source does not publish a public daily roster, youth names, charge lists, or a same-day admissions table for the juvenile center. Capacity is therefore the proper public statistic to use, while individual custody details remain restricted through juvenile channels.
Because Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center is not an adult jail, capacity should not be compared to Wood County adult jail population totals as if the same roster rules applied. North Central Regional Jail handles adult regional jail custody for Wood County. Parkersburg Correctional Center and Jail handles screened adult male work-release offenders. Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center serves a separate juvenile population.
Find Juvenile Custody Information
There is no public adult-style inmate lookup for Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center in the research materials. Families and legal representatives should contact the facility, the assigned juvenile probation or court channel, or counsel involved in the youth's case. The public WV Regional Jail offender search is not the correct tool for youth held at this juvenile center, and the adult DOC prison/offender locator should not be presented as a juvenile roster.
- Start with the youth's parent, legal guardian, attorney, or assigned juvenile court contact if one is known.
- Call Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center to ask what information can be shared and what proof of relationship is required.
- Use juvenile court or probation channels for case, hearing, release, and placement questions.
- Do not rely on adult regional jail search results to rule in or rule out juvenile custody.
| Channel | Appropriate Use | Public Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Facility phone | Family visitation, counselor access, custody-contact process | Staff may require proof of relationship or case authority. |
| Juvenile court or probation | Case status, hearings, orders, release conditions | Juvenile records are not treated like adult public court records. |
| Adult regional jail search | Adult jail custody only | Not a juvenile-center lookup path. |
| Adult DOC locator | Adult DCR prison, parole, or active supervision | Not a public juvenile roster for this center. |
Lorrie Yeager Contact
Direct contact matters more for Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center than for adult roster facilities because the public cannot simply search a live juvenile admissions list. The facility contact is the best starting point for family visit logistics, counselor access, and what documentation is needed. The DCR facility page lists Christina Rine as superintendent.

Lorrie Yeager Family Visits
DCR says families can visit every weekend at Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center and can schedule weekday appointments when needed to visit their child and access counselors. The source does not publish exact public visiting hours, a walk-in visitor schedule, or an adult jail-style visit calendar. Because this is a juvenile facility, family access should be scheduled through the facility and tied to the youth's case, counselor access, and any court or program limits.
| Visit Type | Published Detail | Required Step |
|---|---|---|
| Weekend family visits | DCR says families can visit every weekend | Call the facility to confirm timing and approval needs. |
| Weekday appointments | DCR says weekday appointments can be scheduled when needed | Coordinate with staff or counselors before arrival. |
| Counselor access | DCR references counselor access with visits | Ask what family role, ID, and appointment process apply. |
| Public walk-in visits | No public walk-in schedule located | Do not travel without confirmation. |
Note: Confirm authorization, identity requirements, and appointment time directly with Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center before visiting.
Lorrie Yeager Mail and Calls
The research file did not capture a published juvenile-center mail policy, phone vendor fee table, or commissary deposit schedule for Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center. That absence should not be filled with adult jail rules. Juvenile centers often handle contact through family, guardians, counselors, and case plans. Mail, calls, packages, property, and account questions should be confirmed directly with facility staff before anything is sent.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use the facility address only after staff confirms the required youth name, case, or unit format. |
| Phone Calls | No public juvenile-center phone vendor detail was captured in official sources. |
| Money or Property | No public deposit-fee table was located for this juvenile facility. |
| Family Coordination | Contact facility staff or counselors before sending items or scheduling calls. |
DCR adult offender-services pages cover statewide adult banking, calls, and video, but the research does not show that those adult service rules can be applied to Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center. The restricted juvenile route is the better factual standard.
Lorrie Yeager Juvenile Intake
Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center holds youth charged with conduct that would be punishable by incarceration if committed by an adult. That does not mean the youth is processed like an adult jail inmate. Juvenile intake is linked to court orders, probation, detention decisions, family contacts, and facility classification. The public research does not include a detailed intake manual, so timing, property rules, screening steps, and release procedures should be verified with the facility or juvenile court channel.
For Wood County adult arrests, the common custody path is local processing, possible Holding Center contact, and North Central Regional Jail if detention continues. For youth at Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center, the path is restricted. A parent or guardian should expect staff to control what may be confirmed, who may visit, and how counselor access is arranged. A general public searcher should not expect juvenile names, booking photos, or charge details to appear in adult public tools.
About Lorrie Yeager Center
Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center is one of the details that makes Wood County's custody map more complex than a simple county jail roster. Wood County adult jail custody is served by North Central Regional Jail outside the county. Parkersburg Correctional Center and Jail is a state adult work-release facility in Parkersburg. Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center is also in Parkersburg, but it serves youth in a secure juvenile setting.
DCR describes the facility as serving north central West Virginia. The center has locked doors, structured supervision, and a fenced recreation area. Those public facts support a careful description of the facility without exposing private juvenile information. For public-record purposes, West Virginia access laws do not make juvenile custody records equivalent to adult jail population records. Family, guardian, attorney, probation, and court channels are the proper route for case-specific details.
