Search Eastern Regional Jail bookings before relying on a copied Berkeley County mugshot
Berkeley County does not use a stand-alone county jail roster for this search. People held on Berkeley County matters can be housed at the state-operated Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Martinsburg. Start with West Virginia’s official jail offender search or Daily Incarcerations, then use Berkeley County law-enforcement and court records when you need the arrest report or later case outcome.

Berkeley County arrests are handled through West Virginia’s regional jail system
West Virginia replaced the traditional model of separately operated county jails with a regional jail network. Eastern Regional Jail is the regional facility serving Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties in the Eastern Panhandle.
That distinction matters because a search for “Berkeley County jail mugshots” should usually begin with the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, not with a Berkeley County Sheriff’s jail roster.
How to search Berkeley County Eastern Regional Jail mugshots and bookings
Open the WV DCR Offender Search hub
The official West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation search page provides separate links for Daily Incarcerations, jail offenders, prison offenders, and escapees or absconders.
Use Offender Search (Jails) when you know the person’s name
Open the jail search and use the current search fields shown by West Virginia. Check the matching result carefully and confirm the listed institution rather than assuming every Berkeley County arrest is still housed at Eastern Regional Jail.
Use Daily Incarcerations for very recent bookings
The Daily Incarcerations service is useful when the arrest is fresh and you want to check recent admissions by institution or county. Follow the current options displayed by the state portal.
Move to West Virginia court records for the legal case
The regional jail system is a custody source. Use the West Virginia Judiciary when you need the criminal complaint, bond events, court docket, transfer to Circuit Court, judgment or other case information.
Which Berkeley County record should you search?
| What you need | Best starting source | What it can answer | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recent Eastern Regional Jail booking | WV Daily Incarcerations | Recent admissions and institution-level incarceration information | Information changes quickly |
| Is a named person in a WV regional jail? | WV Offender Search (Jails) | Jail offender and custody lookup | Always confirm the listed facility |
| Need the Berkeley County Sheriff’s police report? | Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office | Releasable Sheriff-created incident, criminal or accident reports | Active investigations and some criminal material may be withheld |
| Need early criminal case or bond information? | WV Magistrate Record Search | Magistrate case details, charges, docket events and available bond information | Documents themselves are not available through the free online search |
| Case transferred or filed in Circuit Court? | WV Judiciary Circuit Court search | Berkeley County Circuit Court record searching | Restricted or confidential material may not be public |
| Need a formal criminal background check? | West Virginia State Police / IdentoGO | Authorized fingerprint-based criminal-history process | Different from browsing public jail mugshots |
| Need release-status alerts? | WV VINE | Custody-status information and eligible notifications | Notifications follow VINE program rules |

Regional detention facility serving Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties.
Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail
38 Grapevine Road
Martinsburg, WV 25401
304-267-0156
WV DCR describes it as a 120-bed male intake and classification unit. It originally opened as the first Eastern Regional Jail in 1989.
Daily Incarcerations is the better starting point for a very recent arrest
West Virginia’s official Daily Incarcerations service is designed for recent incarceration information. It can be used alongside the person-specific jail offender search when you are trying to identify a fresh Eastern Regional Jail admission.
The state places a prominent disclaimer on the service. The information is updated regularly but can change quickly, and it may not reflect the actual current location, release date or offender status at the moment you view it.
Request the Berkeley County Sheriff’s report separately from the jail record
Eastern Regional Jail maintains custody information, while the law-enforcement agency that handled the incident maintains its own investigative or accident records. If Berkeley County Sheriff’s deputies handled the matter, use the Sheriff’s report-request procedure.

Current Berkeley County Sheriff service fees
The Sheriff’s current service page says report fees are paid at pickup and that credit-card payments carry the county’s listed convenience fees. Photos or video can carry additional charges.
Not every Eastern Regional Jail booking comes from the Berkeley County Sheriff
A person can be housed at ERJ after an arrest by a municipal police department, West Virginia State Police, another county agency or another authority. A regional-jail entry identifies custody; it does not mean the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office created every underlying police report.
Check the law-enforcement agency connected with the court or booking information and request the incident report from that agency. This prevents a records request from being sent to an office that does not maintain the document.
Use West Virginia Magistrate Record Search for many arrest-stage court cases
West Virginia Judiciary provides a free statewide Magistrate Record Search. A user can search by first name, last name or case number, and the system can return up to 30 results.
Magistrate case pages can contain information such as the filing date, charge, case parties, docket activity, hearing events and available bond information. The online search does not provide copies of the underlying court documents.

Move to Berkeley County Circuit Court when the case leaves Magistrate Court
A felony matter can begin in Magistrate Court and later be transferred to Circuit Court. If the Magistrate record shows a transfer or the case was filed directly at the Circuit level, use West Virginia Judiciary’s Circuit Court record-access system.
West Virginia now provides statewide Circuit Court record searching through its Court Record Access page. Berkeley County Circuit Court operates from the Berkeley County Judicial Center in Martinsburg.
Martinsburg, WV 25401
A West Virginia background check is not the same as browsing jail mugshots
West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau handles formal criminal-record checks. The State Police currently directs background-check applicants to IdentoGO rather than walk-in background checks at State Police headquarters.
West Virginia law also places authorization requirements on release of certain criminal-record information. If your purpose is employment, licensing, housing, certification or a personal background check, use the official State Police process instead of assuming an ERJ mugshot or jail entry is a complete criminal record.
Use WV VINE if you need custody-status notifications
West Virginia DCR participates in Victim Information and Notification Everyday, commonly called VINE. The service can provide custody-status information and allows eligible users to register for notification when an offender’s status changes.
West Virginia currently lists 1-866-WV4-VINE for custody information and notification registration. DCR also directs users to VINELink for email notification options.
VINE should be used for notification purposes rather than repeatedly refreshing mugshot or booking pages when a custody-status change is what matters.
Eastern Regional Jail visitation must be scheduled under facility rules
The visitation instructions currently linked by WV DCR state that Eastern Regional Jail visits are scheduled by telephone in advance. The linked schedule describes 30-minute visits and requires approved identification.
The current linked ERJ visitation document lists scheduling calls during designated Monday, Wednesday and Friday business-hour windows and provides 304-267-0045 and 304-267-0048 for visitation scheduling.
Because visitation schedules and correctional policies can change, confirm the current facility instructions before traveling to Martinsburg.
WV DCR uses a statewide service for offender calls and video visits
West Virginia DCR currently identifies GettingOut as its contracted service for offender calling and video visits. Use the DCR offender-services page before paying a third-party site that merely claims to provide ERJ inmate communication services.

Keep jail identifiers separate from court identifiers
| Information | Primary system | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Name and current institution | WV DCR jail search | Confirming regional-jail custody |
| Recent admission date | Daily Incarcerations | Checking a new or recent booking |
| Police report or incident number | Arresting law-enforcement agency | Requesting the underlying incident report |
| Magistrate case number | WV Magistrate Record Search | Tracking early criminal proceedings, charges and available bond events |
| Circuit Court case | WV Circuit Court record access | Following a transferred or Circuit-level criminal case |
Verify custody and the court case before repeating a Berkeley County arrest
West Virginia itself warns that regional-jail information changes quickly. A copied mugshot page can therefore become outdated even faster. Verify the current facility, identity and court status before relying on a booking screenshot or repost.
A listed arrest charge describes an accusation at a particular stage. It does not establish that the person was convicted, and it may not match the charge eventually prosecuted or the final disposition.
USA-Mugshots.com is an independent informational website. It is not West Virginia DCR, Eastern Regional Jail, Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, West Virginia Judiciary or West Virginia State Police.
Jail and mugshot information should not be treated as a complete consumer report for employment, housing, credit, insurance or another regulated decision.
