Clay County records are divided among several custodians. The Clay County Sheriff holds sheriff-created arrest and transport materials. WVDCR operates Central Regional Jail and holds its booking, custody, physical-release, and facility-created photograph records. Clay County court staff provide the orders that establish the legal reason for release. No verified public-counter hours were found for these requests, so call before traveling.

Match the question to one of these routes:
- For a released person or release entry, start with the Clay County release search and records path, then request the official record from its custodian.
- For post-release supervision, use the Parole & Probation page and the current West Virginia Parole Board or court contact.
- For recent events, understand that no official Clay 24-hour feed exists; the 24-Hour Release List page gives the verification fallback.
- For a calculated date or automated status alert, consult Projected Release Date or the VINELink Check. West Virginia VINE also answers at 1-866-984-8463.
- For Central Regional Jail, use its facility page and WVDCR. Current-custody search results do not by themselves supply a historic release record.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the WVDCR prison offender search and request the public portion of the time or release record when needed.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator; those agencies maintain separate records.
