This private reference site is not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record.
Choose the Correct Records Office
Nicholas arrest records and WVDCR custody records have different custodians. Call before an in-person visit because office hours were not consistently published. The current Nicholas County government page lists the Sheriff at 449 Water Street, Suite 1. An older official sheriff page lists 700 Main Street, Suite 3. Both give 304-872-7880, so confirm the location by phone.

Use the route that matches the question:
- For a named released person or release record, start with the full Nicholas County search and request path.
- For supervision after release, use parole and probation; Nicholas Probation is at 700 Main Street, Suite 7, Summersville, 304-872-7860.
- For same-day events, use the 24-hour release list fallback, since no official local release feed exists.
- For timing or alerts, compare the projected release date with a VINELink check.
- For CRJCF custody, call the facility or WVDCR. For a sheriff-created arrest report, call the Nicholas Sheriff.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the WVDCR prison offender search and WVDCR records office.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator tied to the actual case or hold.
