Martinsburg Correctional Overview
Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail is operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Bureau of Prisons and Jails. The facility is listed in Berkeley County at 38 Grapevine Road in Martinsburg. In the WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report, its facility description is a 120-bed intake and classification unit housing male offenders. That role is different from the public-facing regional jail function at Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility.
The distinction matters for inmate lookup. A person arrested in Berkeley County is generally routed into Eastern Regional Jail for local jail custody, and that current jail status is searched through the West Virginia regional jail system. Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail is a state custody and classification page. The WVDCR annual report also says Eastern Regional Jail is now merged with Martinsburg Correctional Center-Male Classification Intake Facility, so readers may see both names tied to the same Grapevine Road campus.
Because Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail is not the main Berkeley County jail roster facility, the page should not be used as a shortcut for every new booking. Use it when state custody, prison intake, classification, parole, or active WVDCR supervision is the more likely status.
Martinsburg Correctional Capacity
The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report lists Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail with a rated population of 120. The same research summarizes the facility as a male intake and classification unit. A 2021 PREA audit for the Eastern Regional Jail campus listed 72 people for Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail on the first audit day. Those figures are facility-source points, not a live count for a person being searched today.
| Measure | Figure | Source context |
|---|---|---|
| Rated population | 120 | WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report facility list. |
| Facility function | Male intake and classification | WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report description. |
| 2021 point population | 72 | Eastern Regional Jail PREA audit first-day figure for MCCJ. |
| Current live population | Not captured | Confirm through WVDCR or the facility. |
Martinsburg Correctional Inmate Lookup
The correct online lookup path for Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail is the WVDCR prison offender search when the person is in state custody, on parole, or under active WVDCR supervision. The prison search is separate from the WV Regional Jail search used for Eastern Regional Jail bookings. Families should not assume that a person missing from the regional jail search has been released. After sentencing or commitment, a record may move to the WVDCR prison locator instead.
The WVDCR prison search allows an Offender ID search or a name search. The research captured that an OID search needs at least the first four numbers from the offender's OID. A name search requires the first three letters of both first and last name. WVDCR says the prison search is for active supervision, prison, or parole status only, and that a no-results message can mean the person is no longer in WVDCR custody or supervision.
- Open the WVDCR prison offender search for state custody and active supervision records.
- Search by OID if known, using at least the first four numbers.
- For a name search, enter the first three letters of both first and last name.
- Read the status and location carefully, since intake and classification records may change.
- If the person was just arrested in Berkeley County, check the WV Regional Jail search and Daily Incarcerations for Eastern Regional Jail.
The manifest image for the WVDCR prison offender search shows the state fields used for prison and supervision lookup.
This visual fits Martinsburg Correctional Center because the facility is an intake and classification unit, not a county-run roster page.
| Search field | Required | Use |
|---|---|---|
| OID Number | Required if using OID search | Enter at least the first four numbers. |
| Last Name | Required for name search | Enter at least the first three letters. |
| First Name | Required for name search | Enter at least the first three letters. |
Martinsburg Correctional Contact

Use its facility phone for state custody, intake, classification, visitation eligibility, and communication questions. Use Eastern Regional Jail for current regional jail bookings, and use court or sheriff records channels for court files, incident reports, or police report requests. The facility is operated by WVDCR, so state policy controls much of the visit, mail, phone, and classification process.

Martinsburg Correctional Visits
Visitation at Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail should be treated as a WVDCR state-facility issue, not as a county-jail walk-in process. The research did not capture a Martinsburg-specific visitation schedule, and the facility's intake and classification role may affect whether a person is eligible for visits or video visits at a given point. Call the facility or WVDCR before making travel plans.
| Visit issue | Captured status | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Schedule not published in captured source | Call Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail or WVDCR to confirm. |
| Video visits | WVDCR uses GettingOut for video services | Confirm account setup and eligibility before scheduling. |
| Approval | Martinsburg-specific detail not captured | Ask about approval, ID, dress, age, and classification limits. |
| Intake limits | Classification status may affect visits | Confirm the inmate's current status before travel. |
Martinsburg Correctional Mail
WVDCR controls phone, video, mail, and package rules for Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail. The captured WVDCR calling and video visit page says the division contracts with GettingOut. The research also identifies Union Supply Direct for West Virginia inmate packages and notes that packages deliver to facilities on designated weekly commissary delivery days, with distribution that may take up to seven days after delivery.
No Martinsburg-specific deposit fee schedule, commissary limit, exact mail format, or special intake-classification communication rule was captured. Do not send mail or funds based on assumptions from another jail. Confirm whether the person has an identification number, whether the facility accepts the item type, and whether classification status limits contact.
| Service | Provider or source | Captured detail |
|---|---|---|
| Phone and video | GettingOut | WVDCR says it contracts with GettingOut. |
| Packages | Union Supply Direct WV | Weekly facility delivery schedule and distribution timing noted. |
| Commissary or deposits | WVDCR or facility channel | Fees and exact Martinsburg limits were not captured. |
| WVDCR facility rules | Confirm current format and required inmate identifiers. |
Martinsburg Classification Intake
Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail should be described as intake and classification, not street-arrest booking for the general Berkeley County jail population. Classification is the state custody process that evaluates identity, sentence or commitment status, security level, housing, medical or mental-health needs, and program or transfer questions. A person may move into this pathway after sentencing or state commitment, while a new local arrestee may still be listed through Eastern Regional Jail.
This is also why jail search and prison search must be separated. The regional jail roster helps with active local jail custody. The WVDCR prison offender search helps with active state custody, prison, parole, or supervision status. If a record changes during transfer, call the facility and check both official state systems before relying on a single no-results screen.
- Regional jail
- State-operated jail serving multiple counties, including Berkeley County through Eastern Regional Jail.
- Classification
- State process assigning custody level, housing path, and program or transfer needs.
- Active supervision
- WVDCR status that can include prison, parole, or another active state supervision record.
About Martinsburg Correctional
Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail is part of the same local custody landscape that makes Berkeley County searches easy to confuse. Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility is the main regional jail for Berkeley County arrestees and short jail custody. Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail is a state intake and classification unit for male offenders. The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report links the two by saying Eastern Regional Jail is now merged with Martinsburg Correctional Center-Male Classification Intake Facility.
Berkeley County's growth adds to the need for clear routing. The Sheriff's Office describes the county as the second most populated county in West Virginia and one of the fastest growing areas in the state. Local arrests, court records, state custody, and federal or immigration custody can all involve different offices. For Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail, the starting point is WVDCR state custody lookup, while a recent local booking belongs in the regional jail search first.
For a fuller distinction between active jail custody and the county-wide inmate population, the Berkeley County inmate population hub explains how the regional jail, state prison, and federal lookup systems divide custody records.
