WV DCR offender search (official) (opens in new tab)
How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their WV DCR ID number if you have it. Nicknames and misspellings usually return nothing; try fewer letters or a different spelling of the name. You need the person's OID number for mail and deposits. Most WV prisons are combined "correctional center and jail" facilities.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from WV DCR's own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask WV DCR or the facility before making plans around a date.
Release and transfer alerts: West Virginia takes part in VINE (official source (opens in new tab)). Families can sign up free on VINELink (opens in new tab) for release, transfer and court-date alerts. It's built mainly for crime victims.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
Sentence credits
Credit rules come from West Virginia law and are the same at every WV DCR prison. Read West Virginia's good-time and earned-time rules.
