How to Schedule a Visit at Tygart Valley Regional Jail (TVRJ Form, Deadlines, and What Happens Next)
Visiting at Tygart Valley Regional Jail runs on a scheduled system, and the request window is the make-or-break detail. Here's how scheduling works, what goes on the TVRJ form, and what to do if plans change.
To get a scheduled visit at Tygart Valley Regional Jail, the inmate submits TVRJ Form 5-0029 (Request for Scheduled Visitation) to the Visitation OA. There's a strict submission window: the form must be turned in between 8:00 a.m. Monday and noon Thursday of the week before the visit. Visits happen Tuesday (3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.), Saturday (8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), and Sunday (1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.). Each visit lasts 30 minutes and is non-contact.
Heads up: If you show up and your name was not listed on the visitation request, you will not be eligible to visit.
At TVRJ, visitors don't schedule directly at the front desk. The inmate kicks off the process by submitting TVRJ Form 5-0029, titled "Request for Scheduled Visitation," to the Visitation OA. Think of this form as the official sign-up for a specific visit. It's what gets a time slot assigned.
- ✓ Make sure the request lists the names of ALL visitors who will arrive. If someone is not listed, they will not be eligible to visit.
- ✓ Stay within the visitor limit: either one adult plus up to two minor children, or two adults.
The request form must be submitted between 8:00 a.m. Monday and noon Thursday of the week before the visit. Miss that window and the visit won't be scheduled for that upcoming period.
Plan your trip around TVRJ's visiting hours: Tuesday from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you're traveling from out of town, those windows can help you pick a realistic day.
Each scheduled visit is 30 minutes and non-contact, so expect a short, structured session. TVRJ also limits frequency: each inmate gets one scheduled visit per month. Talk through the best date and visitor lineup before the form goes in.
Capacity limit: Each visit is limited to either one adult plus up to two minor children, or two adults.
TVRJ doesn't schedule appointments after certain cutoff times to protect the full 30-minute visit. No appointments will be scheduled after 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, or 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. If you need a later time, plan for an earlier day or grab an earlier slot within visiting hours.
TVRJ is strict about the visitor list. The request must include the names of ALL visitors who will arrive. Anyone who shows up but wasn't listed won't be allowed in. If plans change, coordinate with the inmate before the submission window closes so the correct names are on the form.
Reminder: The Superintendent can deny a visit even if a visitor's background check was approved. Contact the facility with background-check or scheduling questions.
