Raleigh County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the responsible public office or official search channel for those services.
Official Raleigh County Routes
Choose the office based on the record being sought. A regional-jail custody result, an arresting-agency record, and a court disposition are different records held by different custodians.

For a written public-record request, use the Document Center, the Records Division, or the posted FOIA request form. Send FOIA requests to FOIA@raleighcountysheriff.com or mail them to the address above. The sheriff’s web contact form is not a FOIA channel and is not regularly monitored. The form lists $1 per printed page, $20 for audiovisual reproduction, $10 for a photo, and $15 for shipping. It does not promise a response window or office hours.

Raleigh County Courts
Raleigh County Judicial Center
222 Main Street
Beckley, WV 25801
Circuit Clerk: (304) 255-9135
Magistrate Clerk: (304) 255-9197
Use the clerks for disposition questions or court copies. The Magistrate Record Search and the MCR portal can help locate a case, but a search result is not a substitute for a clerk-confirmed court record.
For the most common needs, begin with the official route that fits the record:
- For current regional-jail custody, use the WVDCR jail offender search and verify the facility and status shown.
- For a recent admissions-style check, use WVDCR Daily Incarcerations, which is not a guarantee of present custody or release status.
- For a sheriff-created Raleigh County record or photo, submit a narrow written request through the RCSO route above and cite W. Va. Code §29B-1-4 where appropriate.
- For a court outcome or a clerk copy, use the Judicial Center contacts and the official court search tools.
- For status notifications, use West Virginia VINE or call 1-866-WV4-VINE. It is a notification service, not a booking-photo source.
- For sentenced state-prison custody, use the WVDCR prison offender search, not the regional-jail tool.
