Private-site and FCRA notice. Berkeley County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site helps visitors locate Berkeley County, West Virginia inmate and jail record resources. It is not a private investigation firm and is not a consumer reporting agency.
The Site’s Limited Role
Berkeley County Released Inmates is a private reference site. It has no authority over the Berkeley County Sheriff, Eastern Regional Jail and Corrections Facility, Martinsburg Correctional Center and Jail, WVDCR, the West Virginia courts, parole or probation offices, BOP, or ICE. It stores no official government records. The site cannot confirm custody, release a person, change a record, accept a legal filing, or act for any agency.
Its pages point toward official inmate, release, court, and supervision resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools. Public access to West Virginia agency records is governed by the relevant custodian, applicable exemptions, and laws such as West Virginia FOIA §29B-1-3. A link or summary does not replace the originating record.
