Search Eastern Regional Jail Bookings, Mugshots and Current Custody in Martinsburg
For ERJ Martinsburg WV mugshots, start with West Virginia’s official regional-jail search rather than a reposted arrest gallery. Eastern Regional Jail and Corrections Facility is in Martinsburg and currently serves Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties.
The useful answer is usually bigger than the photo. This guide shows how to check a recent booking, verify that the facility is actually ERJ, follow the correct county court case, schedule a visit, send mail under the current statewide rules, add funds, set up calls, use VINE and troubleshoot a missing or outdated jail result.
Use the official West Virginia regional-jail search first
ERJ is part of a statewide regional-jail system, so there is not a separate Berkeley County-only ERJ inmate database. Search West Virginia’s official jail system, then confirm that the matching record points to Eastern Regional Jail.
The ERJ Search Works Best as a Four-Part Record Check
West Virginia’s public jail information is useful, but the state warns that location, release date and status can change quickly. Treat each search as a current snapshot.
Choose the ERJ Task You Need Instead of Repeating the Same Search
How to Search ERJ Martinsburg Inmates by Name
West Virginia’s regional jail offender search instructs users to enter at least the first three letters of the last name. That partial-name approach is helpful when the exact spelling is uncertain.
Use WV Daily Incarcerations for Very Recent ERJ Bookings
If the arrest happened recently, the normal name search and Daily Incarcerations answer slightly different questions. The daily tool is useful for fresh admission context, while the normal jail search is better for a direct name lookup.
“Is this person in a WV regional jail?”
Start with the regular WV Regional Jail offender search .
“Was there a recent ERJ admission?”
Check WV Daily Incarcerations and verify the institution information.
How to Read an ERJ Mugshot or Jail Result Without Overstating It
A jail search is a custody tool. A court search is a legal-case tool. Keeping those purposes separate prevents several common mistakes.
No ERJ Result? Check These Possibilities Before Assuming the Record Is Gone
Use only the first three or more letters of the surname and remove unnecessary filters.
Intake and public data entry may still be underway. Recheck Daily Incarcerations.
The jail search may no longer answer your question. Move to the relevant court record.
Search the statewide system and verify whether another WV facility now appears.
Martinsburg has more than one DCR facility. Confirm whether you mean ERJ at 94 Grapevine Road or Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail at 38 Grapevine Road.
ERJ serves Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties. Determine where the case was filed.
Use WV DCR’s prison offender search when regional-jail custody is no longer the likely stage.
If the person entered federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the appropriate federal court/custody source.

Eastern Regional Jail Visitation: Scheduling, Times and ID Rules
ERJ publishes a facility-specific visitation PDF. Use it instead of a generic West Virginia jail schedule because the actual appointment days and time slots are facility-specific.
Published visitation slots
How to prepare before calling
- Driver’s license
- Non-driver identification card
- U.S. passport book or card
- U.S. military ID
The published ERJ instructions limit visits to one adult and two children OR two adults.
Minor-child rules can require a notarized Juvenile Visitation Form when an eligible adult other than the parent/legal guardian accompanies the child.
Do Not Send Ordinary ERJ Letters to 94 Grapevine Road
This is a major current rule that older jail-directory pages often miss. WV DCR now directs ordinary family/friend letters through a centralized scanning address in Phoenix, Maryland.
Eastern Regional Jail and Corrections Facility
PO Box 336
Phoenix, MD 21131
The sender must include a complete return address with the sender’s full first and last name. WV DCR says initials are not sufficient.
Ordinary scanned letters
- Address the letter to only one offender.
- Use the offender’s OID number.
- Write the full facility name without abbreviating it.
- Include the sender’s full name and return address.
- Only handwritten or typed letters are scanned.
Do not put these in the envelope
- Photographs
- Attachments
- Enclosures
- Material addressed to multiple offenders
How to Put Money on a West Virginia DCR Inmate Account
WV DCR’s current Offender Banking page uses ConnectNetwork for family and friend deposits. Verify the inmate before entering payment details.
ConnectNetwork
WV DCR links ConnectNetwork.com for online inmate trust-fund deposits.
ConnectNetwork app
WV DCR also lists the ConnectNetwork app for supported mobile devices.
ERJ Inmate Calls and Video Visits Use WV DCR’s Current Provider
WV DCR currently states that it contracts with GettingOut for offender calling and video visits.
GettingOut
WV DCR directs users to GettingOut.com or the GettingOut mobile app for its supported calling and video-visit services.
Open DCR first
Vendor contracts can change. Start from WV DCR’s current calling page instead of searching the vendor name independently or relying on an old jail directory.
Use West Virginia VINE When Release or Custody Changes Matter
If the real question is “has the person’s custody status changed?” VINE can be more useful than repeatedly refreshing the ERJ mugshot or offender page.
1-866-WV4-VINE
In numbers, that is 1-866-984-8463. WV DCR says callers can obtain custody-status information or register for automatic telephone notification.
VINELink
WV DCR also directs victims to VINELink for email registration and related notification options.
