Why This Site Exists
West Virginia makes many jail, court, and inmate records available through public offices, but Preston County custody is not stored in one simple county-run page. Tygart Valley Regional Jail and Correctional Facility handles local jail custody through WVDCR. The state DOC locator covers active prison, parole, and supervision records. Federal inmates at USP Hazelton and FCI Hazelton are searched through the Bureau of Prisons. This site organizes those rosters, locators, contact points, visitation facts, and request steps in one private reference.
What Is Included
The main content focuses on practical inmate-record tasks for Preston County and nearby custody systems.
- Lookup help for jail inmate records, jail roster mugshots, and court records after a jail arrest.
- Facility pages for Tygart Valley Regional Jail and the two Hazelton federal institutions in Preston County.
- Step-by-step notes for the WV Regional Jail search, WVDCR DOC locator, BOP locator, ICE locator, and VINE notification portal.
- Records-request context for sheriff reports, booking records, court copies, and booking-photo questions under West Virginia law.
What This Site Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site. It is not connected to the Preston County Sheriff's Department, Tygart Valley Regional Jail, WVDCR, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the courts, or any other government office.
- It cannot release, hold, move, or transfer any person in custody.
- It cannot post bond, schedule a jail visit, or send commissary money.
- It cannot give legal advice or tell anyone how to handle a case.
- It cannot guarantee that every phone number, visit rule, address, or fee remains current.
Only the office that maintains a custody or court record can confirm the current official status.
Search Partners
Some pages include search boxes or links supplied by third-party research providers. Those providers set their own prices, terms, data rules, and result coverage. When a partner tool leads to a paid signup, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the reference pages available, but it does not give this site control over partner pricing, searches, or records.
