When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at McDowell County-Stevens Correctional Center so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Stevens Correctional is a detention center located at 795 Virginia Ave Welch, WV which is operated locally by the McDowell County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. McDowell County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Welch Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for West Virginia here.
In August 2001, the Economic Development Authority (E.D.A.) of McDowell County acquired the former Stevens Clinic Hospital with the aim of converting it into a medium security correctional center. This initiative was part of a broader strategy to repurpose the structure to address the needs of the county's correctional system. The McDowell County Commission oversees the operations of this center, known as the Stevens Facility, along with the Welch Facility, the former McDowell County Jail, making it the only privately owned correctional center in West Virginia.
The Welch Facility, constructed in 1976, operated under the Federal Court System from 1990 to 1996, during which time it was upgraded to meet federal standards. Similarly, the Stevens Facility was constructed to comply with both Federal and State correctional standards. The Welch Facility can accommodate up to 108 inmates, whereas the Stevens Facility has a maximum capacity of 322 inmates. Since 1999, McDowell County has also been instrumental in managing the overflow from the Division of Corrections.
Employment at these facilities totals approximately 150 staff members. Economic projections made during the acquisition of grant funds for the Stevens Center estimated that the facility would contribute about $38 million annually to the local economy. The Stevens Facility welcomed its first inmates on March 2, 2006, and by May of that year, it was fully occupied with all 322 beds filled. The McDowell County Correctional Center continues to evolve and improve, reflecting its ongoing developmental phase.
