NRJ Mugshots: Search Northern Regional Jail Records Without Getting Lost
NRJ usually means Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Moundsville, West Virginia. Most people landing here want one practical answer: “Where do I search the real NRJ booking photo or inmate record, and what do I do after I find it?”
This guide gives that workflow directly. It shows the official jail search, the daily booking tool, the facility check, the court follow-up, VINE alerts, phone/video account steps, trust-account deposits, mail format, NRJ vs NCRJ confusion, and what to do when the person is no longer shown in the regional jail system.
Open the official WV jail search, then confirm the facility says Northern Regional Jail
The WV jail search is statewide. A name search can return people in different regional jails. For an NRJ search, the key step is not just finding a name or photo — it is confirming the facility/institution is Northern Regional Jail.

How to Search NRJ Mugshots in the Official WV Jail System
Follow these steps exactly. The official search is statewide, so the facility check is the step most users miss.
How to Check Today’s or Recent NRJ Bookings
Use Daily Incarcerations when the arrest is fresh, late-night, or not appearing clearly in the standard name search yet.
How to Read an NRJ Mugshot or Booking Record
| Record item | What it helps you decide | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Mugshot / photo | Helps confirm the record when combined with other identifiers. | Treating the photo as proof of guilt or current custody. |
| Facility / institution | Confirms whether the result is actually NRJ. | Assuming every WV result is Northern Regional Jail. |
| Name spelling | Shows the name used during booking. | Searching only by nickname or informal spelling. |
| Age / date of birth | Separates people with similar names. | Trusting a common name match without age/date confirmation. |
| Admission / booking date | Shows when the person entered the jail system. | Assuming it is always the exact arrest time. |
| Charge wording | Shows the allegation or custody reason displayed in the jail system. | Treating the booking charge as final conviction or disposition. |
| Custody / release clues | May show whether the record is active or no longer current. | Assuming a saved screenshot remains current hours later. |
| County / court clues | Helps decide which county court to check next. | Assuming every NRJ case belongs to Marshall County. |
No NRJ Result Found? Use This Troubleshooting Order
Use only the first three letters of the last name first. Add the first name after you see the result volume.
If the arrest is recent, open Daily Incarcerations and review the arrest date plus the next day.
The person may be in another WV regional jail. Check the institution/facility line carefully.
NRJ is Northern Regional Jail in Moundsville. NCRJ is North Central Regional Jail in Doddridge County.
The person may have been released, moved to another jail, transferred to prison or placed into another custody process.
If the jail record disappeared but the case continues, use WV court records by name, case number or county.
If the matter is federal, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, not the WV regional jail search.
Northern Regional Jail Address, Phone and Service Area
Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
112 Northern Regional Correction DriveMoundsville, WV 26041
Marshall County, West Virginia
Phone: 304-843-4067
Fax: 304-843-4089
Opened: 1994
Superintendent: Misty Adams
Regional jail, multiple county courts
- Brooke County
- Hancock County
- Marshall County
- Ohio County
- Tyler County
- Wetzel County
NRJ is in Marshall County, but an arrest may belong to any served county. That is why you must use the charge/county/court context before calling the wrong clerk.
NRJ vs NCRJ vs Northern Correctional Facility
This is one of the biggest reasons users land on the wrong jail page.
| Search term | What it usually means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| NRJ | Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Moundsville. | Facility line should say Northern Regional Jail. |
| NCRJ | North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility. | Different jail, different service area, different facility page. |
| Northern Correctional Facility | A separate WV DCR correctional facility at the Moundsville correctional-drive complex. | Check whether the record is jail custody or correctional/prison custody. |
NRJ Visitation and Video Visit Practical Steps
The official WV DCR facility page confirms NRJ contact/location details, but facility-specific visit schedules can change. Use this section as a practical checklist, not as a fixed visit appointment.
Verify custody before planning a visit
Reopen the WV jail search and confirm the person still appears at Northern Regional Jail. Do this the same day you plan to call, schedule or travel.
Call NRJ for current eligibility
Call 304-843-4067. Ask whether the inmate is eligible, whether visits are in-person, video or both, and whether scheduling must happen through the inmate, a portal or the facility.
Ask exactly what ID is required
Ask about visitor approval, adult ID, minors, dress rules, arrival time and prohibited personal items.
Use GettingOut only after confirming availability
WV DCR says it has contracted with GettingOut for calling and video visits. Confirm the inmate/facility is available in the system before paying for a remote visit.
NRJ Phone, Video, Commissary and Trust Account: Choose the Correct Account
A common mistake is depositing money into the wrong type of account. Phone calling, commissary/trust funds and GettingOut family/video services are different routes.
| Your task | Use this route | What to do after opening |
|---|---|---|
| Receive calls from one person | AdvancePay / ConnectNetwork | Create account → add phone number → select facility/person if required → fund AdvancePay → save receipt. |
| Put money on inmate trust account | ConnectNetwork Trust Account | Choose Trust Account → select WV facility/person → confirm recipient → review fees → submit payment. |
| Video visit or messaging | GettingOut | Create/sign in → select facility → find person → choose message/video option → review availability and cost. |
| Lobby kiosk deposit | Facility/lobby kiosk where available | Call facility first → confirm kiosk availability → bring correct identity details and payment method. |
800-483-8314
WV DCR deposit material lists this automated phone route for AdvancePay.
888-988-4768

How to Send Mail to an NRJ Inmate Without Using the Wrong Address
For ordinary friend/family letters, WV DCR publishes a centralized mail-processing address. Do not send a normal personal letter to the NRJ street address unless current official instructions specifically tell you to.
Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
PO Box 336
Phoenix, MD 21131
Sender must include a complete first name, last name and full return address. WV DCR says no initials.
- Verify the inmate is still in WV DCR custody.
- Copy the OID/offender number exactly.
- Use the full facility name, not “NRJ.”
- Send only one offender’s letter per envelope.
- Write your complete return name and address.
- Photographs.
- Attachments.
- Enclosures.
- Multiple offenders in the same envelope.
- Items you cannot afford to have returned.
How to Find the Court Case After an NRJ Booking
NRJ can house people connected to several counties. The jail record may show the custody event, but court records are where you check case filing, hearings, payment/citation information and documents.
Use Magistrate Record Search
Use WV Court Records Access
| If the arrest/case is from… | Likely court county to check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wheeling / Ohio County area | Ohio County | NRJ houses regional inmates, but the court case follows the charging county. |
| Moundsville / Marshall County area | Marshall County | NRJ is physically in Marshall County and may also house Marshall County cases. |
| Weirton / Brooke or Hancock area | Brooke or Hancock County | Use the place of arrest/filing, not the jail address alone. |
| Tyler / Wetzel area | Tyler or Wetzel County | NRJ serves those counties, but local court filing still matters. |
Bond, Release and “Is This Person Still at NRJ?”
Bond and release are not answered safely by a mugshot alone. Use this workflow.
Confirm the person in the WV jail search, then check the court record or contact the correct county court/clerk.
The case may have a no-bond order, hold, pending hearing or another custody reason. Check court records.
Payment does not always equal instant release. Processing, another case, transport or another hold can remain.
Recheck the WV jail record, then use VINE or court records for status follow-up.
Search the new WV facility/prison route or use VINE after the new custody record appears.
How to Get NRJ Custody Notifications Through WV VINE
VINE is for notification. It is better than repeatedly refreshing a mugshot page when you need a custody-status alert.
Safety, PREA and Serious Facility Concerns
WV DCR publishes PREA reporting routes for sexual abuse or sexual harassment concerns in custody. This is separate from ordinary search, visitation or account questions.
Phone and email routes
WV DCR lists PREA reporting by phone at 1-855-366-0015 or 304-352-4724, and by email at [email protected].
Useful report details
- What incident occurred.
- Who the victim is.
- Who the suspect is.
- Time and date of the incident.
- Whether anonymity is requested.
NRJ Resource Guide: Help After Booking or Release
WV DCR publishes a Northern Regional Jail resource guide. This is useful when the user need is not just a mugshot, but help with housing, addiction, reentry, counseling, food, employment or other support categories.
After booking or release planning
Use the resource guide when a person or family needs community-support categories instead of custody status.
Search by need, not just county
Look for the category first: housing, substance use, counseling, food, employment, domestic violence or reentry.
Not an endorsement list
The guide says the facility does not promote a particular agency or individual. Verify any provider before relying on it.
Local NRJ Search Tips That Save Time
Jail address is not always the mail address
NRJ’s facility address is in Moundsville, but WV DCR personal letters use the Phoenix, Maryland centralized mail-processing address.
Use the charging county for court
A person can be housed at NRJ while the court case belongs to Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, Ohio, Tyler or Wetzel.
Check the exact institution name
Northern Regional Jail and Northern Correctional Facility can appear similar to users. Verify the record type and institution.
Recheck before taking action
A copied mugshot or saved jail screenshot can become outdated after release, transfer, court action or data refresh.
Official NRJ Sources and What to Do After Opening Each One
