Where to Ask About an Inmate or Record
For Webster County sheriff-created arrest or report questions, start with Sheriff Richard J. Clayton's office at 2 Court Square, Room G-3, Webster Springs, WV 26288. The office lists 304-847-2006 and 304-847-5772, fax 304-847-2647, and emails webstersheriff300@yahoo.com and webcosd300@yahoo.com. The courthouse public hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For jail custody questions after a person is lodged, Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is at 1255 Dyer Hill Road, Sutton, WV 26601, phone 304-765-7904. WV DCR central office can be reached at 304-558-2036.
Choose the contact path that matches the record or custody system:
- For a person in regional jail custody, use jail inmate records and Central Regional Jail's phone line.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots and then contact the custodian of the specific photo.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, the magistrate clerk, or the circuit clerk.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Central Regional Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the statewide WV DCR prison/supervision locator rather than the regional jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
