Ohio County Correctional Center

Visiting at Ohio County Correctional Center starts with clearance and scheduling. The inmate typically needs to add you to their approved visiting list first. Then contact the facility to request background-check approval, set a visit time, and complete any required visitor questionnaire or release forms. Getting approved doesn't guarantee entry: the Superintendent may still deny or limit a visit for security reasons. Bringing anyone under 18? You'll need proof of parentage or legal guardianship, and the parent or guardian must be on the offender's approved visiting list. Mail juvenile visiting request forms to the WV Division of Corrections & Rehabilitation Bureau of Juvenile Services at 1409 Greenbrier Street, Charleston, WV. Confirm allowed visit types and required documents before you go.

Ohio County Correctional Center offers phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging to stay connected with someone in custody. Written mail follows a separate process. Phone calls and electronic messages are typically monitored and screened for security. Some calls may be recorded, though attorney communications are handled differently. Video visits can happen at the facility's visitation area or remotely. You'll need to create a family account with the approved vendor, schedule your visit, accept the online agreement, and have a payment method on file. Electronic messaging is generally text-only, and the person in custody usually must approve you as a contact before you can exchange messages. For juvenile visiting requests, mail completed forms to the WV Division of Corrections & Rehabilitation, Bureau of Juvenile Services, 1409 Greenbrier Street, Charleston, WV.
