Pleasants VINE Release Coverage
West Virginia VINE is the state custody-information and event-notification service described by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDCR). The state agency operates both North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, which serves Pleasants cases, and Saint Marys Correctional Center and Jail, a state facility located within Pleasants County. That structure means one VINE portal can receive data for both regional-jail and state-prison populations. Always verify participation through the agency label on the actual result.
Coverage does not make each record a full history. VINE may show identity information, offender ID, custody status, location, source agency, and event data supplied by that agency. Released or out-of-custody wording can appear, but it may not state whether the reason was bond, time served, sentence discharge, or another event. It may also omit older events. The service is strongest as a current signal and notification channel.
| Custody type | Use of VINE | Best confirming source |
|---|---|---|
| Pleasants pretrial or county case | Check the North Central agency record and custody event. | WVDCR release transaction plus the Pleasants court order. |
| West Virginia state sentence | Check the WVDCR institution, status, and event wording. | WVDCR offender history, institutional record, and applicable Parole Board action. |
| Federal sentence or pretrial case | Not covered as a federal locator. | BOP locator, federal docket, or appropriate USMS records route. |
| Immigration custody | Does not replace the ICE locator. | ICE case-specific records and both custodians' transfer documents. |
Search Pleasants VINELink Records
Start with enough identity data to avoid a same-name match. A first and last name may be enough to return candidates, but an offender ID, date of birth, middle name, known facility, or Pleasants case number can confirm the right person. Do not use a photograph by itself. It reflects a booking or correctional event and does not prove the present status.
- Open the official West Virginia VINELink portal and choose the offender or custody search offered by the current interface.
- Enter the person's first and last name or offender ID. Add only the filters the live form provides.
- Compare each candidate's identifiers and facility. North Central and Saint Marys represent different custody paths even though both can touch Pleasants County.
- Open the matching record. Copy the custody status, source agency, facility, offender ID, event wording, update time, and retrieval time exactly.
- If the result says released or out of custody, check the Pleasants court case or WVDCR record for the authority and actual exit details.
A no-result response is not a release certificate. Names can be entered differently, agency data can lag, older events may not remain visible, and the person may be held by a system outside VINE. Try the stable ID when known and then move to the custodian that fits the case.
Preserve a small verification log. Note the identifier used, the reported facility, the source URL, access date and time, exact status wording, event date if shown, and the related Pleasants case number. If sources conflict, label the status unverified while the records are checked. A transfer in progress, delayed update, alias, amended order, or wrong-person match can explain a difference without proving that any source is false.
Note: Save the exact agency label because VINE reports source data and does not merge all local, state, federal, or immigration custody.
Pleasants VINELink Release Fields
The live interface and participating agency control which fields appear. The August 2026 research does not promise the same card for every person. Transcribe what the record actually shows. Do not insert a projected date, release reason, or supervision term simply because those fields would be useful.
| Field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Name and identity details | Use them to confirm the correct person, not to infer a legal outcome. |
| Offender ID | Preserve this stable identifier for WVDCR and records-request follow-up. |
| Custody status | Quote the exact wording, such as released or out of custody, if it appears. |
| Facility or location | Shows the source system's reported site, which may lag a physical move. |
| Event and date | Records what the participating agency supplied, not a complete court history. |
| Update time and agency | Shows when and from whom the displayed information came. |

The capture identifies the correct state portal. It is not a result for a Pleasants County person and contains no claim about an individual's custody.
Register Pleasants Release Alerts
Registration attaches a destination to the correct offender record so VINE can send the custody changes offered for that record. Channel choices can change. Select phone, email, text, or app only when the live interface presents that option. A statutory written-notice right is a separate process and should not be replaced with a general VINE registration.
- Open the verified person's record and select the current notification-registration control.
- Choose an available channel and enter the telephone number, email address, or app destination requested by the interface.
- Create a PIN for automated calls when prompted. The PIN confirms receipt and can stop repeat calls; it is not the offender's PIN.
- Complete the email, text, or app confirmation step shown by the service. An unconfirmed destination may not be active.
- Save the registration confirmation and instructions. Keep the offender ID with it so the alert can be matched to the right record.
West Virginia also provides the automated line at 1-866-WV4-VINE (1-866-984-8463). WVDCR describes it as a custody-information and telephone-notification channel. Recheck the official state page before relying on hours, channel choices, or interface wording, since administrative details can change.
Alert registration and statutory notice serve different roles. Registration follows the selected VINE record and the event types offered by the interface. A person entitled to formal release or parole-hearing notice may need to make a written request under the state process. Save both confirmations separately. One proves a service registration; the other documents the request made to the responsible state entity.
Pleasants Transfer Notification Delay
West Virginia has a distinctive transfer rule. WVDCR says VINE does not send a transfer call while an offender is in transit. Notification occurs after arrival at the new facility for officer safety. A temporary gap can therefore mean transfer processing rather than release to the community. Check the next reported facility and obtain the movement entry before stating what happened.
The state VINE page also explains that WVDCR and the West Virginia Parole Board are separate entities. People entitled to statutory notice may need to send written requests to both. A VINE alert does not substitute for a Board notice, and a parole hearing or grant does not prove that release processing is complete.
Note: A regional-jail exit followed by another WVDCR site is a transfer unless an official record shows community release.
Confirm Pleasants VINE Releases
VINE supplies a custody-change signal. WVDCR's release transaction supplies the facility's physical exit event. The Pleasants Magistrate or Circuit Court file supplies legal authority for bond, dismissal, probation, commitment, or another order. Reconcile all three when the release type or exact time matters. Timing differences do not always mean one source is wrong. A judge can sign an order before North Central processes it, and the court docket can post after the gate event.
For a Pleasants arrest, start with the jail branch of the official WVDCR search. If North Central remains the listed location, release is not confirmed. A move to another WVDCR institution is a transfer. If the active result disappears, record that dated observation, then use VINE, the Pleasants case, and a WVDCR request for the release or movement record.
The Pleasants Sheriff page identifies the local office led by Sheriff Charles Mankins. That office may hold a separate arrest or transport record, but it does not operate North Central or control the regional jail's VINE event.
For a sentenced state prisoner at Saint Marys, use the prison branch and offender history. Distinguish parole eligibility from minimum discharge and actual release. If VINE reports an event, compare it with the WVDCR record and any Parole Board action. The full custody decision tree appears in the Pleasants County released inmates search.
For a regional-jail case, the requested booking-and-release record can include the booking number, admission time, release time, reason code, releasing authority, and destination if those fields exist. Ask for movement history when transfer is possible. The Pleasants Circuit Clerk can provide an identified court order, while the release transaction shows when WVDCR carried it out. VINE remains the alerting layer between those two records.
- Custody status
- The participating agency's reported state of confinement or release at the displayed update time.
- Event notice
- An alert about a source-agency change. It is not a certified historical record.
- Parole
- Conditional release from a state prison sentence under supervision.
- Probation
- A court-ordered community sentence, distinct from parole and not proved by a VINE result.
Pleasants VINE Coverage Limits
VINE does not cover every custody system. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for a federal sentence. A BOP result that says released or not in BOP custody applies only to BOP. Federal pretrial custody may involve the U.S. Marshals Service, which has no comparable public person locator. ICE custody requires its own locator and case-specific follow-up.
Nor does VINE prove the reason for a WVDCR release. It may not distinguish bond from time served, preserve each old event, show a complete sentence calculation, or prove supervision ended. The state offender search carries its own warning that public information may not show the true current location, release date, or status. The originating office remains the final route for a precise record.
A registered-offender search is also separate. The West Virginia State Police registry covers only people with a statutory registration duty and cannot stand in for VINE or a general release record. Likewise, a parole office may confirm only public supervision information it is allowed to provide. Use each source for its limited question and do not let absence in one system erase a documented custody event in another.
