Find Tygart Valley Regional Jail Releases

Tygart Valley Release Paths

Tygart Valley Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is the state-operated regional jail serving Barbour County. A person may arrive after a Barbour arrest, yet the sheriff, court, and WVDCR perform different roles. Barbour law enforcement may arrest and transport. A magistrate or circuit judge may control bond, sentence, dismissal, or commitment. Tygart Valley books, houses, moves, and releases the person.

A community release can follow bond, a court order, time served, sentence completion, or another authorized event. Placement in Barbour County Community Corrections can end secure confinement while adding court-ordered reporting. By contrast, a move to a state prison, another regional jail, federal authorities, ICE, or another state's warrant is a transfer. The person remains in custody. Ask for the destination category and exact event type instead of relying on “left the jail.”

Note: “Left Tygart Valley” is not a release type; request the event code and destination that explain the departure.

Confirm Tygart Valley Release Records

Begin with the WVDCR regional-jail OIS search. Search the exact name, verify birth information, and open the matching record. Note the institution, admission details, charges, county, court, and bond fields that appear. A current Tygart Valley result points to custody or a recently updated operational record. No result does not prove release.

1. Match the person by name, birth data, offender number, and the Barbour booking period.
2. Check regional-jail OIS for the current or most recent Tygart Valley episode.
3. Check WVDCR's prison route if the court ordered commitment or the jail reports a prison transfer.
4. Read the Barbour magistrate or circuit case for the bond, dismissal, sentence, or commitment authority.
5. Use VINELink for a reported event and call the facility to distinguish release from transfer.
6. Request the booking or movement-to-population record when public tools remain unclear.

The Barbour County released-inmate search explains the full court, state, notification, federal, and records-request branches. For formal proof, pair the physical event with the order or corrections record that gave it legal effect.

Note: A current prison institution after a Tygart Valley departure confirms transfer, not community release.

Tygart Valley Release Record Contact

The facility holds the booking, custody, and movement information for the Tygart Valley episode. Telephone staff may limit what they disclose. Ask which office is the designated FOIA custodian and which current delivery method it accepts. No verified public records-office hours, release-processing hours, special release form, or fixed release-record fee was found.

Under West Virginia FOIA §29B-1-3, a custodian must respond to a reasonably specific request within five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays. It may supply copies, arrange inspection, or issue a written denial. The exemptions in §29B-1-4 may support redaction or withholding of protected material. Reasonable actual reproduction costs may apply, but the access section bars search, retrieval, and labor fees.

Request the named person's admission date, booking number, movement or release time, event type, release authority, destination category, and hold disposition. WVDCR Policy 151.00 governs agency offender records. If the person served a WVDCR sentence, ask for the nonexempt time sheet or discharge certificate. Send court-order requests to the Barbour clerk.

Note: Telephone disclosure may be limited, so ask for the current written records-request route when staff cannot confirm the event.

Tygart Valley Custody Role

WVDCR's official facility page identifies Tygart Valley as both a regional jail and correctional facility. It serves Barbour along with several other counties. The live page is the strongest operational source when county-service lists differ across state reports.

The facility page provides the official identity and contact information used for Barbour County release checks.

The official page also explains that many of West Virginia's female jail inmates awaiting prison transfer are housed there. A name may leave the regional-jail view when prison intake is completed. Search the prison route before calling that change a release.

Tygart Valley Release History

Tygart Valley opened in June 2005. It has a Belington mailing address, though WVDCR identifies its physical location in Randolph County. That geography is easy to miss in a Barbour County search. Barbour does not operate a separate county jail, and the regional facility sits outside the county it serves.

The jail's multi-county and mixed-classification role creates more possible movement paths than a simple local roster suggests. A Barbour detainee can leave because of a community release, another regional placement, prison commitment, or outside hold. Keep the county case number and the Tygart Valley booking identity together when calling or filing a request.

Tygart Valley Release Transportation

The facility's official visitation rules state that there is no local transportation or bus service and that the nearest taxi is in Elkins. Those statements concern the site's setting. They do not create a guaranteed release ride, time, waiting area, or exit point. WVDCR Policy 457.09 addresses release transportation, but no public Barbour-specific pickup procedure was found.

Confirm the event time and approved pickup instructions with staff. Plans should allow for a date change, processing delay, or transfer. A person granted parole while at a regional jail may still need to pass through WVDCR intake and fingerprinting before community release, so leaving Tygart Valley can precede the final departure from state custody.

Note: Visitation transportation details describe the location, not a promise that the facility will provide a release ride.

Tygart Valley Release Property

West Virginia Code §15A-4-9(f) directs the superintendent to deliver the person's property, money, and earnings at departure or as soon as practical. The WVDCR property policy uses identification and receipt procedures for an authorized pickup. The release record and property receipt serve different purposes.

For missing property, contact Tygart Valley with the person's booking identity, date of departure, item description, and any receipt information. Preserve the request trail. Property return does not show whether custody ended in the community or continued elsewhere.

Tygart Valley Barbour Court Records

A facility movement says what happened. The Barbour docket or signed order often says why. Use the Magistrate Case Record Search for magistrate matters and the Judiciary court gateway for circuit matters. Look for bond, dismissal, time served, probation, sentencing, commitment, or revocation entries.

Read short docket labels with care. Bond posted does not prove another hold cleared. Dismissal of one charge does not end another case. A commitment order sends the person into state custody. Ask the clerk for the actual order when the docket shorthand is unclear, then compare it with Tygart Valley's event time and destination.

Magistrate records follow another route. The magistrate clerk can be reached at (304) 457-3676 and receives mail at P.O. Box 541, Church and Main Streets, Philippi, WV 26416. The public magistrate search returns a limited set of name or case-number matches and does not supply document images. Request the signed order or a clerk copy when a release conclusion depends on exact terms.

Tygart Valley Detainer Transfers

A detainer is a request or legal hold from another authority. If a person leaves Tygart Valley for ICE, federal authorities, another state, or another county, the Barbour jail episode may close while custody continues. The movement entry should identify the destination category or receiving authority when that information is nonexempt.

For a documented immigration transfer, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator promptly. The official ICE locator scope explains its limited recent coverage. A federal pretrial person may be held for the U.S. Marshals Service without appearing as a sentenced BOP inmate. Use the federal court order and a targeted federal records route when that branch applies.

Does a VINE departure alert prove community release? No. A transfer alert can lag until the receiving facility records arrival. Confirm the destination through OIS, facility records, and the receiving agency.

Note: Search ICE or federal records only when the movement entry or case facts support that custody branch.

Tygart Valley Release Supervision

Leaving Tygart Valley may begin probation, Community Corrections, parole, or conditional release. These are not interchangeable. A Barbour court imposes probation and can order local day reporting. The West Virginia Parole Board makes parole decisions, while WVDCR Parole Services supervises a granted release. Conditional release can also place a sentenced person in the community before final discharge.

Ask for both the physical release date and the later supervision end date. A parole grant is not always a same-day release from state custody. WVDCR processing can continue after a person leaves the regional jail. The official Tygart Valley Resource Guide lists transition resources, but an individual court or parole record controls the actual duties. For parole, call the assigned office rather than guessing between Clarksburg and Elkins.
