Kanawha County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. Contact the agency that created or holds the record for an official answer.
Where to Direct a Record Question
For a sheriff-held incident report or public-record request, start with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office records-request page. KCSO lists its main and records operator at 301 Virginia Street East, Charleston, WV 25301, (304) 357-0200, with fax (304) 357-0516; its 24-hour communications line is (304) 357-0169. The Legal Process Division is at 5 Goshorn Street, Charleston, WV 25301, (304) 357-0166, fax (304) 357-0154. KCSO does not operate South Central Regional Jail, so a live regional-jail custody question belongs with WVDCR.
The official WVDCR facility is South Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, 1001 Centre Way, Charleston, WV 25309, (304) 558-1336. Use the WVDCR Offender Search hub for regional-jail and prison search entry points, or WVDCR’s FOIA and records path when the request concerns a SCRJ booking or admission record. The research reviewed did not provide office hours for KCSO or WVDCR, so this page does not state any.
- For current regional-jail custody, use the WVDCR roster route first. Its results can change quickly, and a missing result does not prove a person was never arrested or booked.
- For a KCSO incident report or a public-record request, use KCSO’s records-request page and identify the person, date range, incident number if known, and requested record.
- For a Charleston, South Charleston, or St. Albans incident or arrest report, contact the appropriate municipal police department or city records office. Those departments do not operate a public daily booking roster.
- For a court case, disposition, or clerk contact, use the West Virginia court-record access hub and the Kanawha court information page. Court records, not a booking listing, show the later legal outcome.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, begin with WVDCR’s prison-search option. For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator; neither is a Kanawha jail roster.
