This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. For those actions, contact the sheriff, jail, court, or corrections office that holds the record.
Where to Start
Mineral County jail custody is split between local law enforcement and the West Virginia regional jail system. Use the sheriff's office for local law-enforcement records or arrest-report questions, and use Potomac Highlands for current jail custody, housing, and visitation questions.

For a records search, choose the path that matches the question:
- For someone believed to be in regional jail custody, start with jail inmate records and then call Potomac Highlands if the online search is unclear.
- For booking-photo access and public-record limits, review jail roster mugshots.
- For charges, court dates, or filings after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest.
- For facility address, phone, and visitation context, use the Potomac Highlands detention facility page in the footer.
- For a sentenced West Virginia prisoner, use the WVDCR prison offender search rather than the regional jail search.
- For a federal or immigration detainee, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
