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-Welch Correctional Center so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Welch Correctional is a detention center located at 50 Court St 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 purchased the former Stevens Clinic Hospital to transform it into a medium security correctional center. This facility, now known as the Stevens Facility, was part of a broader initiative to utilize the building to enhance the county’s correctional system capacity. The facility was constructed to adhere to both Federal and State correctional standards and has a maximum capacity of 322 inmates. McDowell County has been managing overflow from the Division of Corrections since 1999, and the first inmates arrived at the Stevens Facility on March 2, 2006. By May of that year, all 322 beds were filled. It is estimated that the Stevens Facility contributes approximately $38 million annually to the local economy, a figure derived during the process of securing Grant funds for the center.
The McDowell County Commission also oversees the operations of the Welch Facility, the former McDowell County Jail, making it part of the only privately owned correctional center in West Virginia. Constructed in 1976 and upgraded to federal standards between 1990 and 1996 while under the operation of the Federal Court System, the Welch Facility can accommodate up to 108 inmates.
Approximately 150 employees work across these two facilities. The McDowell County Correctional Center, encompassing both the Stevens and Welch facilities, is still in the developmental stages and continues to see daily improvements.
