The Monroe County Sheriff's Jail, which opened in 1974, operated as a full-time detention facility until 2001. That year, following the formation of the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority, all inmates serving sentences were transferred to the Eastern Regional Jail or the Southern Regional Correctional Facility, overseen by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDCR). These regional facilities are equipped to house inmates from arrest through adjudication, providing necessary services such as housing, meals, and medical care.

Following the transition, the Monroe County Jail became a 12-hour holding facility, supporting all police agencies in the county. It now handles short-term detention, particularly for court appearances, and coordinates the transport of inmates to one of the regional jails as needed.

Sheriff Michael Miller oversees various law enforcement duties, including executing court orders and maintaining public peace. The sheriff’s office also manages the booking process when individuals are arrested, collecting personal details, and recording the arrest. However, without a full-service jail, arrestees are quickly transferred to regional facilities for secure detention. These regional centers provide comprehensive services such as inmate programs, legal resources, and visitation opportunities, ensuring secure detention while allowing the sheriff's office to focus on maintaining public order.

This collaborative arrangement between the sheriff's office and regional jails allows for efficient and cost-effective inmate management, leveraging regional resources to meet the needs of the justice system in Wood County.

Visitation Information

The Monroe Co. Sheriff assumes a comprehensive role in law enforcement, encompassing duties such as patrolling, investigating crimes, making arrests, and executing warrants. This division of responsibilities allows the sheriff's team to concentrate on maintaining public safety and effective law enforcement operations. At the same time, detention services are outsourced to other jurisdictions due to the absence of a jail on-site.

The Sheriff's Office must coordinate with the nearby Eastern Regional Jail or Southern Regional Correctional Facility to house their arrestees and you may call 304-424-1945 to get accurate information. This arrangement requires efficient collaboration and communication to transfer detainees to appropriate holding facilities where they can await trial or post bail. Consequently, there is no dedicated location within the sheriff's jurisdiction for visiting detainees, necessitating family members and legal representatives to travel to the external facilities where the arrestees are held.
