Eastern Regional Jail Overview
Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Bureau of Prisons and Jails. The official facility page places it in Martinsburg in West Virginia's eastern panhandle and lists Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan as the counties served. That matters for Berkeley County inmate lookup because the public-facing roster is not a county sheriff roster. It is the West Virginia regional jail system, and the same jail may hold people from more than one county.
The WVDCR facility page says Eastern Regional Jail has operated since September 1999. The FY2025 annual report describes it as a detention site for pretrial felony and misdemeanor cases and for sentenced felony and misdemeanor jail prisoners from Berkeley, Morgan, and Jefferson counties. It also says the facility is now merged with Martinsburg Correctional Center-Male Classification Intake Facility, which can confuse families who see both names in state records. For a current Berkeley County arrestee, Eastern Regional Jail remains the main jail-search facility.
The captured WVDCR source page for Eastern Regional Jail shows the official facility contact and location.
The screenshot is useful because it ties the Berkeley County jail lookup to WVDCR's own facility listing rather than to a county courthouse or sheriff counter.
Eastern Regional Jail Capacity
The strongest population figures in the research come from WVDCR annual reporting and the 2021 PREA audit. The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report lists Eastern Regional Jail with a rated population of 448. The same research captured a 2021 PREA audit with a designated capacity of 568 and a first-day audit population of 591. Those figures should be read by source and date. The rated population is not the same as a current live head count, and the 2021 audit point is historical.
| Measure | Figure | Source context |
|---|---|---|
| Rated population | 448 | WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report facility list. |
| Designated capacity | 568 | Eastern Regional Jail 2021 PREA audit. |
| First-day audit population | 591 | Eastern Regional Jail 2021 PREA audit point count. |
| Current live population | Not captured | Confirm through WVDCR or the facility. |
Eastern Regional Jail Roster Search
The correct online lookup path for Eastern Regional Jail is the WV Regional Jail Offender Search. Berkeley County's own inmate-find links route users to state jail, state prison, and federal locator systems, not to a local sheriff database. The regional jail search requires at least the first three letters of the last name, and the first name can be added to narrow common names. If the person was just booked, the Daily Incarcerations page can be checked by county or institution.
The WV regional jail search page warns that public information is updated regularly but can change quickly. It also says location, release date, status, and other details may not reflect the true current status. Sentencing information on the jail search is not meant to replace the court record. If a Berkeley County inmate disappears from the regional jail roster after sentencing, use the WVDCR prison search before assuming release.
- Open the WV Regional Jail Offender Search for jail inmates.
- Enter at least the first three letters of the person's last name, then add first name if known.
- Check Daily Incarcerations by Berkeley County or Eastern Regional Jail if the booking is recent.
- Confirm the listed facility before calling, planning a visit, or asking about bond.
- Use the WVDCR prison search if the person has moved from jail detention to state custody.
| Search field | Required | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Yes | Enter at least the first three letters. |
| First Name | No | Narrows results when a last name is common. |
| County or institution | Daily page only | Browse active jail custody by sentencing county or facility. |
Eastern Regional Jail Contact
Eastern Regional Jail is on the Grapevine Road jail campus in Martinsburg, not at the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office and not at the courthouse. Use the facility for current custody, visit confirmation, and jail information. Use the sheriff's records office for Berkeley County Sheriff's Office incident or crash reports, and use the court clerk for filed case records. The City of Martinsburg outside-agencies page also lists Eastern Regional Jail at the same public phone number captured by WVDCR.

Eastern Regional Jail Visits
WVDCR controls visitation rules for Eastern Regional Jail. The official Eastern page has a visitation information link, but the captured source did not expose a complete Eastern-specific schedule. Because the jail serves Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan counties and may involve classification or housing changes, a visit should be confirmed by phone before travel. Bring government identification and expect WVDCR rules for non-contact or video visitation, dress, property, and behavior.
| Visit issue | Captured status | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Schedule not published in captured source | Call Eastern Regional Jail or WVDCR to confirm. |
| Video visits | WVDCR uses GettingOut for video services | Confirm eligibility and account setup before scheduling. |
| Visitor approval | Facility-specific detail not captured | Ask the facility about ID, approval, age, and dress rules. |
| Accessibility | Accessible entrance detail not captured | Call before arrival if a mobility accommodation is needed. |
Eastern Regional Jail Mail
WVDCR's offender calling and video visit page says the division contracts with GettingOut for calling and video visits. The research also captured Union Supply Direct as the West Virginia inmate package channel, with package delivery tied to designated weekly commissary delivery days and distribution that may take up to seven days after delivery. Eastern-specific deposit fees, kiosk rules, package limits, and mail format were not captured in the official pages reviewed.
The WVDCR calling and video visits source was captured in the manifest and identifies the state communications vendor.
Use that source for the service channel, then confirm current rates, account steps, and facility limits before sending funds or scheduling a video visit.

Eastern Regional Jail Intake
For most Berkeley County adult state or local arrests, the practical custody path runs through Eastern Regional Jail. A person may be arrested by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, Martinsburg Police, West Virginia State Police, or another agency, then transported or handed off for intake. Booking is the jail process that records identity, custody basis, charges or warrants, property, fingerprints, and a booking photograph when applicable. The exact Eastern Regional Jail local booking form and timing were not published in the captured sources.
Initial appearance and bond questions move through court channels. West Virginia pretrial release law governs the conditions a judicial officer may set, while the regional jail confirms custody and may explain facility-specific bond or release steps. If the question is about filed charges, use magistrate or circuit court records rather than relying only on the jail booking label. For broader roster guidance, the Berkeley County jail inmate records page separates jail lookup from court and state-prison searches.
About Eastern Regional Jail
The local setting is important. Berkeley County is in the eastern panhandle, and the Sheriff's Office describes the county as the second most populated county in West Virginia and one of the state's fastest growing areas. Eastern Regional Jail is part of that regional custody structure, but its population is not a simple Berkeley-only count because it also serves Jefferson and Morgan counties. WVDCR annual-report figures and PREA audit figures should be tied to the facility, source, and year.
The 2021 PREA audit details captured for Eastern Regional Jail include indirect supervision design, video monitoring, no open-bay dorm housing units in the excerpt, and 24 segregation or isolation cells. The WV Regional Jail search page also posts PREA zero-tolerance language and says alleged sexual abuse or sexual harassment can be reported to the facility administrator or the WV Regional Jail Authority central office at (304) 558-2110.
