This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, pull official booking records, verify court status, or give legal advice. Use the official office that holds the record for current custody, release, bond, records, or legal-status questions.
Nicholas County Record Contacts
Nicholas County custody and court information is split among several public offices. The sheriff handles local law-enforcement records, Central Regional Jail handles regional-jail custody logistics, the clerks maintain court records, and the prosecuting attorney handles criminal prosecution after arrest. The county and sheriff sources list two official sheriff address variants, so both are shown here for routing.

Use the record type to choose the right starting point.
- For a person held in the regional jail system, start with jail inmate records and call Central Regional Jail for time-sensitive custody or visit questions.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and route formal photo or arrest-record requests to the proper records custodian.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, then contact the magistrate or circuit clerk for copies.
- For facility address, phone, and visitation details, use the Central Regional Jail facility page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced West Virginia prisoner or parole record, use the WVDCR prison and parole locator rather than the regional jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator because those systems are separate from Nicholas County and WVDCR jail records.
