Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Overview

Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation. DCR identifies the facility as a regional jail and correctional facility in Holden, Logan County, serving Boone, Logan, McDowell, and Mingo counties. For Logan County readers, this means the main jail lookup path runs through WVDCR systems rather than a local Logan County Sheriff roster.

The official facility page says Southwestern began receiving inmates on April 8, 1998 and consists of three pods. It does not publish a rated capacity, average daily population, full housing-unit inventory, formal security-level label, public lobby hours, visitor parking rules, ADA entrance notes, booking-desk hours, or a complete list of fields shown on a public inmate profile. Those gaps matter because they prevent a reliable capacity or current-population claim for the facility. The DCR page does identify Superintendent Toby Allen and lists the facility's main contact lines.

Logan County Sheriff Paul D. Clemens and the Logan County Sheriff's Office remain relevant for arrests, process service, prisoner transportation, incident records, and local law-enforcement questions. They are not the operator of Southwestern Regional Jail. A person arrested in Logan County may be booked into the DCR regional jail, then later appear in magistrate or circuit court records that are maintained outside the jail system.

Southwestern Regional Jail Capacity and Population

DCR did not publish a rated capacity or average daily population for Southwestern Regional Jail in the official facility page and accessible annual-report material reviewed for this project. The public figure available from the DCR Daily Incarcerations page on July 2, 2026 was an admissions figure: the visible admissions-by-institution table listed 10 admissions for Southwestern Regional Jail. That number is not a total jail population, not an average daily population, and not a Logan County-only inmate count.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

Start with the WVDCR Offender Search hub. For a person in regional jail custody, use the jail offender search or the daily incarcerations search. The DCR jail offender search requires at least the first three letters of the last name, allows an optional first name, and requires CAPTCHA before submission. The daily incarcerations search uses a county dropdown and also requires CAPTCHA.

1. Open the DCR Offender Search hub and choose the jail offender search for current regional-jail custody.
2. Enter at least the first three letters of the person's last name. Add the first name when the last name is common.
3. Complete the CAPTCHA and compare results against Southwestern Regional Jail, Logan County, and the other counties the facility serves.
4. If a new booking is not found by name, check daily incarcerations and select Logan County when using the county dropdown.
5. If the person has been sentenced and transferred, use the DCR prison search. Use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal custody and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
6. Use West Virginia VINE for custody and release notifications. VINE is useful for alerts, but it is not a complete replacement for DCR and court records.

DCR warns that jail information can change quickly and may not fully reflect current location, release date, status, or the underlying criminal case. For formal charges, hearings, and case outcomes after a Logan County arrest, use the West Virginia Magistrate Case Record Search, WVPASS circuit search, and Logan County clerk offices.

Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Address and Contact

The official facility contact is the best starting point for custody questions that cannot be resolved through the DCR online tools, and for confirming visitation before travel. The published Southwestern page does not list public lobby hours, booking-desk hours, visitor parking instructions, or an ADA entrance, so callers should ask about any visit-specific or access-specific issue before arriving.

Visiting Someone at Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

Southwestern publishes non-contact visitation by appointment. Visits are scheduled by calling (304) 239-3070 between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The facility assigns the time slot, and visitors cannot choose the time. Late registration cancels the visit. The official Southwestern page reviewed did not publish detailed visitor ID rules, dress code, locker rules, child-visitor rules, public parking guidance, visit length, or monthly visit limits, so those details should be confirmed directly with the facility before travel.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

DCR statewide offender-service rules apply to Southwestern mail, money deposits, calling, and video services. Mail is scanned through a centralized Phoenix, Maryland address. Deposits use ConnectNetwork by phone, website, or app. Calling and video services use GettingOut. The DCR pages reviewed did not publish Southwestern-specific deposit fees, phone pricing, video pricing, commissary schedules, spending limits, or package-vendor rules.

Booking and Intake at Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

Logan County arrests may involve the Logan County Sheriff's Office, municipal police, West Virginia State Police, or another law-enforcement agency. The jail intake location for regional jail custody is generally Southwestern because it is the DCR facility serving Logan County. The Sheriff's Office may transport prisoners or handle arrest-related records, but DCR controls the regional jail custody record after booking.

Official Southwestern material reviewed did not publish a step-by-step intake manual. Standard jail intake commonly includes identity confirmation, search, property handling, fingerprinting, booking photo, medical or mental-health screening, security classification, and housing assignment. Because those details were not published as a Southwestern-specific public process, they should be treated as general correctional intake context rather than as a confirmed public checklist for this facility.

After booking, the court record becomes the controlling source for the criminal case. Magistrate Record Search can help with early magistrate matters, and WVPASS is the statewide circuit court public access system. The Logan County Circuit Clerk also provides local public-terminal access and copy routing for circuit records.

About Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

Southwestern Regional Jail opened to receive inmates on April 8, 1998. DCR describes it as a three-pod facility serving Boone, Logan, McDowell, and Mingo counties from the Earl Ray Tomblin Industrial Park in Holden. The facility is part of West Virginia's statewide correctional system, so many practical services, including offender search, mail, deposits, phone service, and video service, are handled through DCR and its statewide vendors.

The Southwestern resource guide lists reentry and support resources including WV 211, Help4WV, AA and NA, domestic violence support, veteran crisis services, WorkForce WV, Logan Mingo Area Mental Health, First Baptist Church Logan NA meetings, and Logan County DHHR. The FY2025 DCR annual report says all agency facilities achieved PREA compliance in 2025, identifies Southwestern among facilities with completed audit and accreditation activity, and reports that electronic security replacement across ten regional jails began in 2025 with scheduled completion in 2027.
