Saint Marys Correctional, WV

To visit at Saint Marys Correctional, you'll need approval through the Bureau's visitor-authorization process. Don't assume you're set just because your background check cleared—call the facility to confirm your status and schedule the visit. The Superintendent can still deny entry. Already completed a visiting form for the same offender at another juvenile facility? You generally don't need to submit a new one unless the previous form is more than a year old. Check with the facility where the offender is housed to be sure. Bringing a child takes extra steps: children can only be listed with proof you're the parent or legal guardian, and that parent or guardian must already be on the offender's approved visiting list. When you fill out the visitor questionnaire, sign and date it—this certifies your answers are truthful and acknowledges a background check will be run.

Trying to locate someone associated with Saint Marys Correctional? Start by figuring out whether they're in state or federal custody—this determines which database to use. For West Virginia state inmates, use the Division of Corrections Offender Search. For federal inmates, use the BOP inmate locator. If you have a federal register number, enter it directly for faster results. Pay close attention to status fields: "Released" or "Not in BOP Custody" means the person is no longer in federal custody. An "UNKNOWN" release date often indicates pretrial or unsentenced status. Need the facility's official address? Use the WV.gov Facility Locator entry.

Trying to understand custody and population reporting connected to Saint Marys Correctional? Here's how the state tracks county-level jail activity. West Virginia's Jails Billing Information document publishes county inmate-day totals along with base and pro rata day figures in its billing tables. Kanawha County's figures are listed as 75,190 and 93,987. Keep in mind that West Virginia uses multiple custody systems—state correctional facilities, regional jails, and federal facilities—so reports may be organized differently depending on where someone is held.
