How to Visit Central Regional Jail and Corr. Facility (WV)

A cleared background check doesn't guarantee your visit. The Superintendent can still deny it. Before you make plans, call the facility where the offender is located to confirm you're cleared and to get your visit on the schedule.

Already completed the juvenile visiting form for the same offender at another juvenile facility? Don't submit it again unless the previous form is more than one year old. Instead, contact the offender's current facility and ask what they have on file and what they need from you next.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Contact the facility to confirm your background-check approval status and schedule your visit.
• ✓ Remember that the Superintendent can deny a visit even if your background check was approved.
• ✓ If you already completed the juvenile visiting form for the same offender at another juvenile facility within the last year, do not resubmit it. Contact the offender’s current facility instead.

Before you go, verify two things directly with the facility: that your background-check approval is still valid in their system, and that your visit is actually on the schedule. This matters because the Superintendent has final say, even if you've already been cleared.

If you've submitted a juvenile visiting form before, check whether it was for the same offender and whether it's less than a year old. Forms older than a year may need to be redone. Call the current facility to find out if they need a new one and what your next step is.
