Wyoming County 24-Hour Feed Status
No official Wyoming County government page, Sheriff page, or Southern Regional Jail page provides a rolling list of people released today. The WVDCR Daily Incarcerations report is a present-custody report. It is not a release archive and must not be relabeled as one. The state also does not publish an official update cadence, former-record retention period, photo field, or 24-hour filter for Wyoming County releases.
This gap follows the local custody structure. The Wyoming County Sheriff's Department arrests, secures, and transports prisoners, while the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation operates Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility. That regional facility serves seven counties. A Wyoming County-only same-day feed cannot be derived from a multi-county current list without an official release field and committing-county filter.
Check Wyoming County Releases Today
The strongest same-day method follows the custody chain. Start with the system that should hold the person now, then compare its result with a court order and the WVDCR record. Keep the time of each check. A status can change while release processing, transport, or data updates are under way.
- Search the Regional Jail offender search for current Southern Regional Jail custody. Match more than a name when identifiers are available.
- If the person is absent, search the separate WVDCR prison OIS. A match there points to transfer, not release to the community.
- Review the Wyoming County case through the Magistrate record-search route or the Circuit Clerk, based on the case. Obtain the actual bond, dismissal, sentence, or modification order.
- Check West Virginia VINE for a custody-change event. A VINE notice is a useful lead, but movement between facilities can delay the call until arrival.
- Call Southern Regional Jail and ask whether public records show that WVDCR custody ended, on what date, and whether the method was community discharge or transfer.
- Request the WVDCR release or transfer record for the final date, time, method, and destination field that can be disclosed.
For a search focused on one named person rather than today's full window, the Wyoming County released-inmate search path explains how to reconcile state, court, VINE, and federal sources.
Wyoming County Release Record Fields
Because no public 24-hour feed exists, there are no verified feed columns to describe. WVDCR Policy Directive 142.00 does establish public categories in an offender record. A narrow request can seek the fields that answer whether the same-day event was a true community release. Their availability remains subject to privacy, safety, investigative, juvenile, sealed-record, and expungement limits.
| Requested field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Full name and OID | Connects the response to the correct WVDCR record rather than a name-only match. |
| Commitment date and time | Identifies the start of the Southern Regional Jail custody episode. |
| Actual release date and time | Records when custody with WVDCR ended, not when a court first authorized release. |
| Method of discharge | Helps separate bond, sentence completion, parole, transfer, and other outcomes. |
| Judicial district of release | Connects the event to the committing or releasing court district. |
| Release or transfer destination | May show community departure or movement to another custodian, subject to redaction. |
Ask for the booking photograph as a separate item when it is needed for identity confirmation. Separating the image request prevents a photo dispute from delaying the core release-date response. West Virginia FOIA permits a reasonably specific request and provides a response framework, but the research found no flat WVDCR photo price or local booking-photo form.
Note: Policy-listed public fields are not proof that every field appears on the live Regional Jail search screen.
Where Wyoming County Releases Occur
A Wyoming County detainee usually leaves from Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility at 1200 Airport Road in Beaver, not from the courthouse in Pineville. The facility is in Raleigh County near I-64 at Airport Road and Exit 125. Its official page lists Wyoming County among the counties it serves.
No official fixed discharge hour, release door, family waiting point, transit stop, property-return process, or weekend procedure was located. Call 304-256-6726 before traveling. Ask where a pickup may wait and whether processing is complete. A court order may authorize release before identification checks, paperwork, detainer review, and the actual door exit are done.

Wyoming County Bond Release Paths
Same-day release can mean more than one legal result. West Virginia magistrates set bail, and the Wyoming County Sheriff's Department identifies a Home Confinement Officer. A person may physically leave on bond, enter court-authorized home confinement, or remain at Southern Regional Jail because release terms have not been met. Those results should not be merged.
The court order answers what was authorized. The WVDCR log answers when custody at the regional jail actually ended. Sheriff home-confinement records can confirm program status when public, but they do not replace the jail record. A bond order also does not mean that the criminal case ended. Magistrate Court handles bail, misdemeanors, and felony preliminary matters, while Circuit Court holds felony trial and sentence records.
- Bond
- A court-approved basis for pretrial release while the case continues.
- Home confinement
- A court-authorized form of monitored custody or control outside the jail.
- Transfer
- The end of one facility's custody because another agency or facility receives the person.
- Discharge
- The recorded method by which custody or a later supervision term ends.
Wyoming County Release Versus Custody
A live roster answers who is held when its data updates. A release record answers how and when that custody ended. The distinction is essential for Southern Regional Jail because a person's disappearance may mark a move into the state prison system. VINE can also remain silent during facility-to-facility movement and notify after the person reaches the new site.
| Observed result | Next check | Safe conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Current Regional Jail match | Confirm facility and update time | The person appears in regional-jail custody as of that data. |
| No Regional Jail match | Prison OIS, VINE, court, and WVDCR record | Status is unresolved until release or transfer is proved. |
| Prison OIS match | Compare identifiers and committing case | The jail stay likely ended by state-prison transfer. |
| Court bond or dismissal order | Obtain actual WVDCR release time | The order explains authority, not the exact exit time. |
| WVDCR release method and time | Check supervision when relevant | WVDCR custody ended by the stated method. |
State-prison, federal, and immigration releases use different sources. Search WVDCR prison OIS for a state commitment, the BOP locator for a federal sentence, and ICE's locator for the short released-from-ICE window. Release from one custodian never proves the absence of all other custody or supervision.
Request Wyoming County Same-Day Records
Address a Southern Regional Jail request to WVDCR, not to a fictional Wyoming County jail. Identify the person by full name, birth date or OID if known, Southern Regional Jail, Wyoming County as the committing county, and a tight date range. Ask for the admission time, actual release time, method of discharge, judicial district, and public destination or transfer notation. Electronic delivery may also be requested.
West Virginia FOIA section 29B-1-3 gives the custodian up to five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, to produce the record, set an inspection time, or deny the request in writing. Actual reproduction cost may be charged, but the statute does not authorize a search, retrieval, or staff-time charge. A denial should identify its reason. WVDCR's central records route is 1409 Greenbrier Street, Charleston, WV 25311.
If speed matters, phone the facility first. Ask a narrow public-record question and then request the written log. Preserve the time of the phone call, online checks, VINE event, court order, and agency response. A short evidence log can resolve what looks like a conflict when authorization and physical departure happen on different days.
Route each part to the office that created it. WVDCR owns the Southern Regional Jail admission, release, transfer, sentence-calculation, and file-photo record. The Wyoming County Sheriff can address an arrest, transport, or home-confinement record created by that department. Magistrate Court supplies bail and misdemeanor documents, while Circuit Court supplies felony sentence and modification orders. If an agency reports no record, recheck the full name, birth date, OID, court number, facility, and date range. A no-record response may mean the wrong custodian or identity was used. It is not proof that the person was never confined or was released that day.
Note: The wider Jail Releases: 72 Hours workflow is better for a three-day review, but it is not an official feed.
