Find Eastern Regional Jail mugshots, inmates and booking records
Eastern Regional Jail in Martinsburg serves Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties. For a recent booking or an individual inmate record, start with West Virginia’s official Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WV DCR) search. A separate court search is needed to confirm what happened to the charges.

Looking for Eastern Regional Jail mugshots in West Virginia? The reliable starting point is the WV DCR offender-search hub—not a third-party mugshot gallery. Select Daily Incarcerations to investigate recent admission activity or Offender Search (Jails) to search for a particular person. Photos may appear in some available records, but an online booking photograph is not guaranteed.
Eastern Regional Jail is a state-run regional correctional facility serving the eastern panhandle. Its county coverage is broader than Martinsburg, so a booking connected with Jefferson County or Morgan County can also involve Eastern Regional Jail. Facility location, arrest county and court jurisdiction are different details and should be checked separately.
Important: A mugshot, arrest or booking entry does not establish guilt or conviction. WV DCR warns that offender information can change quickly and may not show the current location, release date or case outcome. Check the relevant West Virginia court for legal case details.
Which Eastern Regional Jail search should you use?
West Virginia maintains separate tools for recent admissions, individual jail records, state-prison custody and court information. Choosing the right source matters more than searching a person’s name repeatedly on unrelated websites.
Recent booking or admission Choose WV Daily Incarcerations and review the date and institution information.
Individual inmate record Choose Offender Search (Jails) from the WV DCR search hub.
After a transfer to state prison Use Offender Search (Prisons) rather than only checking the jail roster.
Charges, hearings or case disposition Use West Virginia Judiciary Court Record Access for magistrate or circuit court information.
These are official government entry points. Some state search pages may require acceptance of a disclaimer or an active session. If a deep link does not open, go to the WV DCR homepage and select the search by its displayed name.
How to search Eastern Regional Jail inmates by name
You need a name, ideally the correct legal spelling, and an understanding of whether the person is likely in a regional jail now. You do not need to purchase a private background report to begin.
-
Open WV DCR’s offender searches.
On dcr.wv.gov, choose Offender Search (Jails). Do not select the separate state-prison search unless the person has moved into prison custody.
-
Enter the name in the state’s search form.
Use the surname and any other available fields. If the system asks for a minimum number of characters, follow its on-screen requirement. Try a verified alternate spelling if the first search is unsuccessful.
-
Compare matching results carefully.
Check any age or identifying details provided, the institution, booking or incarceration information and other fields available in the official result. A name alone does not establish identity.
-
Look for Eastern Regional Jail.
Make sure the institution is Eastern Regional Jail, not another similarly named jail or the separate Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail. Do not assume a historical facility label confirms present custody.
-
Check recent admission details separately.
If the person was just arrested, open Daily Incarcerations from the state homepage and inspect the applicable date and institution. A daily admissions listing and an individual inmate lookup have different purposes.
-
Confirm the next action.
For urgent custody or visitation questions, call the facility at 304-267-0045. For the legal charges or case outcome, search the court in Berkeley, Jefferson or Morgan County, as applicable.
Example: If a person was arrested in Charles Town and later booked into Eastern Regional Jail, search the statewide jail system for custody. Then check the Jefferson County court system for the prosecution, rather than searching only for “Martinsburg court records.”
Are Eastern Regional Jail mugshots and daily bookings public?
The official search is the best way to check whether a booking entry and photograph are publicly available. WV DCR provides a daily-incarceration service and individual offender search, but it does not promise that every recent or historical booking photo can be viewed online.
Today’s bookings and last 24 hours
Open Daily Incarcerations from WV DCR and follow the institution or county selection available for the displayed date. Confirm the report’s date before interpreting it as today’s arrivals. Newly processed bookings may not appear instantly, and an admissions report is not the same as a live list of everyone currently held.
Last seven days or an older booking
Do not assume the daily page has a seven-day historical archive. Review whatever date navigation the state provides. If no historical photo is displayed, check the individual jail record and identify the records office holding the material. Availability depends on retention and access rules.
What the booking entry can—and cannot—tell you
| Field | What it may show | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Name and photo | Identity information associated with an entry | That a same-name result is definitely your intended person |
| Admission or booking date | When the facility recorded custody intake | The exact time of the alleged offense |
| Charges | Allegations entered or associated with custody | Final filed charges or a conviction |
| Institution or status | A facility or custody status at the time of an update | Where the person is at this moment |
A photograph that is missing from the government result should not be replaced with a similar-looking image from an unrelated website. Search and reuse of arrest information can cause serious misidentification. For the broader statewide context, see our WVRJA and West Virginia jail mugshots guide.
Eastern Regional Jail address, phone and counties served
WV DCR lists Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility at 94 Grapevine Road in Martinsburg. The facility has operated since September 1999 and serves Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties. It is a regional jail, not a detention center reserved exclusively for Berkeley County.

Do not confuse ERJ with Martinsburg Correctional Center
WV DCR also lists Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail at 38 Grapevine Road, Martinsburg, WV 25401, telephone 304-267-0156. That is a separate facility with intake and classification functions. The current Eastern Regional Jail address is 94 Grapevine Road. Using the wrong building name can result in incorrect directions or an unsuccessful inquiry.
Which county should you use?
These counties are the jail’s published service area, not a guarantee that any particular arrestee is held there. Confirm present location through WV DCR before arranging a visit or sending funds.
Find charges, bond information and court outcomes
Eastern Regional Jail maintains custody information; it is not the court that decides a criminal case. West Virginia Judiciary provides a free Magistrate Record Search, searchable by first name, last name or case number. It returns case information, not full downloadable case files. The Judiciary also offers a statewide circuit court access route.
- Identify the county where the criminal case was filed, which may differ from the jail’s county.
- Open Magistrate Record Search for magistrate cases or the Judiciary’s court-record access page for circuit cases.
- Compare any court name, case number, filing date and listed parties. Do not rely only on a same-name result.
- For official documents, certified copies or missing details, contact the court clerk in the county where the case was filed.
| County | Court clerk office | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Berkeley | Berkeley County Judicial Center, 380 West South Street, Martinsburg, WV 25401 | 304-264-1957 |
| Jefferson | 110 North George Street, Charles Town, WV 25414 | 304-728-3233, ext. 342 |
| Morgan | Morgan County Courthouse, 77 Fairfax Street, Room 202, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411 | 304-258-8631 |
The addresses and numbers above come from Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan county pages maintained by West Virginia Judiciary. For copies, the clerk may charge the fee required by law; the online magistrate search itself is free. Never interpret a booking charge as an eventual conviction.
Eastern Regional Jail visitation: scheduling, ID and rules
WV DCR publishes a facility-specific visitation document for Eastern Regional Jail. The document lists phone scheduling on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., at least one day before the visit. Visits are generally 30 minutes, with one visit per inmate per week. Because facility schedules can change, call before traveling to confirm current rules and an available appointment.
Visitation scheduling: 304-267-0045 or 304-267-0048, according to the facility’s posted document.
| Day | Published 30-minute start times |
|---|---|
| Tuesday and Saturday | 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. |
| Thursday | 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. |
Who can attend and what ID is accepted?
The published instructions limit a standard visit to two adults or one adult with two children. Adults must present acceptable identification such as a driver’s license, state-issued non-driver ID, U.S. passport or U.S. military ID. A Social Security card, credit card or insurance card is not a substitute for an approved photo ID.
Children must attend with a parent, guardian or an eligible adult family member. If an adult family member other than the parent or legal guardian accompanies a child, the document calls for a notarized Juvenile Visitation Form authorized by the non-incarcerated parent or guardian. The official PDF includes the form on its final page. Confirm how the facility wants the completed form handled before the visit.
Clothing and items to leave behind
The published dress code prohibits revealing or see-through clothing, hooded garments, hats, sunglasses and open-toed shoes, among other items. Its practical suggestion is a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. Cellphones, purses, tobacco, weapons, food and drink are not permitted inside the visiting area. Avoid bringing unnecessary belongings; ask staff about approved storage arrangements.
Special visits beyond standard rules require a qualifying circumstance and advance approval from the facility superintendent. A prior booking or an online record is not a visitation appointment. Check the official visitation instructions and juvenile form before arranging transportation.
Send a letter, deposit funds or arrange a phone or video call
Mail: do not send ordinary letters to the jail street address
WV DCR now lists a centralized mail-processing address for personal letters. The official mailing instructions require the inmate’s first and last name and OID number, the facility’s full name without abbreviation, and the following address:
- Recipient line
- Inmate’s full first and last name and OID number
- Facility line
- Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
- Mail processing
- PO Box 336, Phoenix, MD 21131
- Sender
- Full first and last name and complete return address
WV DCR states that letters must not contain photographs, attachments or enclosures and must be addressed to only one offender. Violations can cause the mailing to be returned. This is a personal-letter processing address, not the jail’s physical location or a universal address for legal mail; confirm separate requirements for legal or privileged correspondence with WV DCR.
Money for the inmate trust account
According to WV DCR’s offender banking page, friends and family can deposit using ConnectNetwork, its mobile app or the automated telephone line 888-988-4768. Confirm the offender’s identity and facility in the payment system before submitting money. Service charges and accepted payment methods should be checked during the transaction rather than assumed from an old article.
Calling and video visits
WV DCR’s calling and video visits page identifies GettingOut as its contracted provider. Follow the vendor’s current registration, funding and availability instructions. Do not confuse online video services with the facility’s separate in-person visitation appointment rules.
Release notifications, missing results and record requests
How to monitor a change in custody status
For victims and other eligible users seeking notifications, WV DCR lists VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) among its victim services. Check that official page for notification registration and limitations. A subscription is different from checking a mugshot, and notifications should not be treated as an emergency response system.
What if no Eastern Regional Jail result appears?
- Very recent arrest: data may not be visible yet. Check the daily admissions route and contact the jail for a time-sensitive question.
- Released or transferred: check the statewide jail search, prison search and relevant court records.
- Wrong place: ERJ and Martinsburg Correctional Center are separate facilities. An arrest in another county may be processed elsewhere.
- Name mismatch: verify legal spelling and available identifiers; don’t identify a person from a photo or matching name alone.
- Record unavailable online: certain information may be restricted, not published or available only by request.
Requesting an arrest report or booking record
If you need the police incident report, contact the arresting agency, which may be a county sheriff, city police department or West Virginia State Police. WV DCR maintains custody records, not necessarily the original arrest narrative. For DCR-held public records, its published policy list includes Policy Directive 108.01 on written public-record requests. It directs requests to the Commissioner and requires enough specificity to identify the record.
Include the approximate date, involved agency, person’s name where appropriate and any booking or incident identifier. Ask about public-access restrictions and copying fees. Do not assume a photograph must be released merely because an arrest was made.
Where is Eastern Regional Jail in Martinsburg?
The official facility address is 94 Grapevine Road, Martinsburg, WV 25405. WV DCR’s driving directions use the I-81 exit 12 area and the WV-9 corridor. Because roads and visitor procedures can change, use up-to-date directions for your journey and confirm the correct facility before leaving.
Map destination: Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, 94 Grapevine Road. Open directions in Google Maps. This is not the address for mailed personal letters.
