How to send messages, photos, and packages
Staying in touch with someone at South Central Regional Jail typically means phone calls, video visits, or electronic messaging. Written mail follows a separate process. All calls and electronic messages are monitored and screened for security, though attorney communications may be handled differently. For video visits and messaging, you'll need to set up an account with the facility's approved vendor, accept the online terms, and schedule ahead. The incarcerated person may also need to approve you as a contact before you can exchange messages. Check the facility's resource guide before calling or setting up accounts. It lists helpful community contacts, including the WV Medicaid Program phone number and Prestera Center for local mental-health services.

Bringing kids to visit at South Central takes extra prep. The two biggest trip-ups? The visitor headcount limit and having the right paperwork notarized before you arrive.
The South Central Regional Jail resource guide lists a few phone numbers, but they connect to community and benefits agencies, not the jail directly. You'll find the WV Medicaid Program at 304-558-1700, the WV Bureau for Behavioral Health & Health Facilities at 304-558-0627, and WV 211 (dial 2-1-1), a statewide community services hotline. These are helpful if your question involves benefits, treatment resources, or referrals. Just keep in mind they may not be able to help with inmate-specific issues and could only point you to outside services.
Scheduling your first visit is straightforward once you understand how South Central Regional Jail handles visits. The key: the incarcerated person initiates the scheduling process, not you.
