Located at 112 Northern Regional Correctional Dr in Moundsville, WV, Northern Regional Jail carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Northern Regional Jail offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
The Northern Regional Jail serves a unique dual purpose as both a Correctional Facility under the West Virginia Division of Corrections and a Regional Jail under the Regional Jail Authority. Established on August 31, 1994, as a Level V (Maximum Security) Correctional Facility, it initially intended to house male offenders. However, due to the experienced staff's background as former penitentiary employees, it expanded to accommodate male and female offenders. Presently, it houses approximately 253 male inmates, including special management cases, operating under a Unit Management philosophy with both General Population and short-term Segregation Units.
The facility emphasizes rehabilitation through various programs, including the Alcohol and Drug Education, Treatment, and Relapse Prevention Program (ALADRUE), a three-tiered substance abuse program available statewide. ALADRUE addresses different stages of drug/alcohol abuse, focusing on psychoeducation, recovery, and relapse prevention. Additionally, the facility offers Anger Management programs designed to improve offenders' ability to manage emotions and interact socially, promoting assertive conflict resolution and stress management.
Furthermore, the Northern Regional Jail participates in the West Virginia Correctional Industries initiative, established in 1939, providing skills training to inmates while supplying necessities to government and non-profit organizations statewide. In addition, the facility houses Long-term Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Units, employing therapeutic community models across five Division of Corrections facilities to address chronic alcoholism and addiction.
As part of its reentry initiative, the West Virginia Division of Corrections implements the Third Base Coaching program, engaging the faith community in mentoring offenders transitioning back into society. This program aims to foster independence, productive citizenship, and positive family relationships while reducing recidivism rates. Mentors within the faith community provide guidance, support, and accountability, promoting personal responsibility and constructive community involvement. The program operates on two levels: transitional mentoring inside prisons and community-based mentoring post-release, emphasizing goal-setting, self-leadership, and integration into faith-based and civic activities.
Through these comprehensive programs and initiatives, the Northern Regional Jail endeavors to facilitate rehabilitation, successful reentry, and community safety in West Virginia.
