Visitation

Visiting at Slayton Work Camp starts with paperwork. Complete the facility's visiting request form and sign the certification allowing a background check. The form asks for the offender's name, facility name, DJS number, your full name, and mailing address. Once filled out, mail it to the WV Division of Corrections & Rehabilitation Bureau of Juvenile Services at 1409 Greenbrier Street, Charleston, WV 25311 (the form includes the Bureau's phone and fax numbers). Even after your background check clears, the Superintendent can still deny a visit—contact the facility to confirm approval and schedule your time. Bringing a child under 18? You'll need proof of parentage or legal guardianship, and the parent or legal guardian must already be on the offender's approved visiting list.

Contact

The available documents don't list a phone number, mailing address, fax, or superintendent name specifically for Slayton Work Camp. Instead, they point to state-level resources. For juvenile-visitation questions, use the WV Division of Corrections & Rehabilitation Bureau of Juvenile Services contact details printed on the juvenile visiting request form. Trying to reach the facility directly? Start with Slayton Work Camp's facility page. If the listing is missing or unclear, check the state bureau's contact page next. Before calling or sending paperwork, make sure you're contacting the right office—facility operations versus the state bureau—so your request doesn't get delayed. If visiting in person, bring the required ID.

Facility Info

Slayton Work Camp opened in July 2007 as a 48-bed minimum-security unit on the Mount Olive grounds. It operates outside the secure perimeter and is administered by Mount Olive Correctional Complex. The camp houses non-violent, low-risk offenders assigned to work-camp duties and related programs. For context: Mount Olive opened in 1995 and is West Virginia's only maximum-security correctional facility, with a current capacity of 1,030 male inmates. That helps explain Slayton's lower-security role on the same site. Sorting out placement, transfer, or support options? Statewide custody overviews and published resource guides explain referrals, procedures, and services used across West Virginia facilities.
