Locate Anthony Correctional Center Inmates

Anthony Correctional Center Inmate Overview

The official WVDCR Anthony Correctional Center page describes Anthony as a correctional center and community-corrections style facility operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation. It is located in Greenbrier County near White Sulphur Springs and Neola. The facility was converted in March 1985 into a co-ed correctional facility to provide equal opportunities for male and female adult offenders. WVDCR lists Charles Gore as superintendent.

Anthony is not the jail for Greenbrier County arrests. The county's primary jail custody path runs through Southern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in the regional jail system. Anthony instead holds male and female young adult offenders, generally ages 18 to 25, who have been committed for a program-based term. That makes Anthony a state custody and court-return facility rather than a local booking jail. Search, visitation, mail, and release questions should be framed around WVDCR state custody.

Because Anthony is physically in Greenbrier County, it belongs in a local facility list. Its role is still distinct. A person arrested in Greenbrier County may first appear in the regional jail search. If later committed to Anthony, the WVDCR DOC locator becomes the better place to verify active custody or supervision status.

Anthony Correctional Center Program

The Anthony model is court linked. The official facility page says offenders are committed for six months to two years. After completing program requirements, the offender returns to the committing court and receives probation for up to five years. If the person is deemed unfit or repeatedly breaks institutional rules, the person can be returned to the committing court for the original sentence. That return-to-court structure is the key fact that separates Anthony from normal jail custody.

In plain terms, Anthony is not just a place where a new arrestee waits for bond. It is a program facility for young adults already placed into a state correctional path by a court. A family member who is still trying to find a recent Greenbrier County arrest should start with the regional jail search. A family member who knows the person was committed to Anthony should use the DOC locator and facility contact channels.

Committing court

The court that placed the offender into the Anthony program and later handles the return.

Probation

Court-ordered supervision in the community after program completion or sentencing.

DOC locator

The WVDCR search for active prison, supervision, or parole status.

Regional jail roster

The separate WVDCR jail search for active jail custody and daily admissions.

Anthony Correctional Center Inmate Lookup

Use the WVDCR DOC Offender Search for Anthony Correctional Center custody, active supervision, prison, or parole status. The DOC search is different from the regional jail search used for Southern Regional Jail. The DOC page accepts the first four numbers of an Offender ID number, or the first three letters of both the first and last name. A captcha is required before search results display. Discharged people and people no longer in WVDCR custody may not appear.

Anthony residents should not be searched as if Anthony were a Greenbrier County jail roster. The county jail record and regional jail admission path are covered by Southern Regional Jail. Once a person moves into state custody or a state correctional program, the DOC locator and WVDCR facility channels are the better match. VINELink may also be used for custody or case notifications when the user needs alerts rather than a one-time search.

1. Open the DOC offender search for active WVDCR custody or supervision.
2. Search by the first four OID numbers, or by the first three letters of first and last name.
3. Complete the captcha and review whether the result indicates Anthony or another WVDCR status.
4. Use VINELink for notification needs instead of refreshing the search page repeatedly.

If the person was just arrested in Greenbrier County and has not been committed to state custody, check Southern Regional Jail and the Greenbrier County regional jail records path first.

Anthony Correctional Center Contact

The official WVDCR contact block lists Anthony Correctional Center at a White Sulphur Springs address in Greenbrier County. Use the facility phone for current facility questions, visit procedure confirmation, and routing questions about an Anthony resident. The contact block does not replace the DOC locator. It also does not make Anthony the place to call for Greenbrier County sheriff incident reports, bond questions for a new arrest, or magistrate case records.

Anthony is near Neola on Route 92, about 15 miles north of White Sulphur Springs according to the research summary. For a person traveling from elsewhere in Greenbrier County, call ahead to confirm the current visit process, identification needs, and any facility access rules before relying on map directions alone.

Anthony Correctional Center Capacity

The official Anthony facility page does not list a current rated capacity. WVVA coverage of the 2024 WVDCR renovation announcement reported a planned or rebuilt capacity of 112 total inmates, with 80 male beds and 32 female beds. The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report supports that project description, including 80 male offenders in existing Building B and 32 female offenders in the new female housing building. A historical Prison Policy Initiative and Census table listed Anthony Correctional Center at 214 in a 2005-era correctional-population context.

Those numbers are not interchangeable. The 112 figure is tied to the 2024 and FY2025 renovation project, while 214 is historical. A live population count for Anthony was not located in the official facility page reviewed for this build. The safest reading is that Anthony has a sourced project capacity figure and a separate historical count, but not a current public daily population table like the regional jail admissions page.

Anthony Correctional Center Visits

The research file did not locate an Anthony-specific public visiting schedule table in the official facility page text. Since Anthony is a WVDCR state correctional center, visitors should use the facility phone and current WVDCR visitation guidance rather than assuming the Southern Regional Jail monthly non-contact schedule applies. State facility visits often depend on approval, scheduling, identification, dress, conduct rules, custody status, and institutional operations. Anthony's program population and renovation context make confirmation especially important.

The safest public guidance is direct and narrow: confirm the resident is in active WVDCR custody, call Anthony Correctional Center before travel, and ask how current visits are approved and scheduled. The visitor should also ask whether the visit is in person or video, what identification is required, whether minors may attend, and whether the resident's program status limits visitation.

Note: Do not use Southern Regional Jail visit limits as Anthony rules unless WVDCR confirms they apply.

Anthony Correctional Center Mail Money

Anthony uses WVDCR statewide channels for mail, calling, video, money deposits, and approved packages. Personal mail should use the centralized WVDCR mail format with the resident's full first and last name, OID number, the full facility name with no abbreviations, and PO Box 336, Phoenix, MD 21131. The sender must include a complete return address with full first and last name. WVDCR says photos enclosed in envelopes will be returned to sender.

WVDCR identifies GettingOut for calling and video services. Deposits use ConnectNetwork by phone at 888.988.4768, web, or app. ConnectNetwork lists WVDCR services that include AdvancePay Phone, Pin Debit, Trust Fund, and Community Corrections. Union Supply Direct is the approved West Virginia inmate package site, and package orders require the WVDCR identification number. The research did not locate exact Anthony-specific fees, so rates should not be invented.

Anthony Correctional Center Image

The facility image shown comes from the official WVDCR Anthony Correctional Center page, which is also the source for the facility type, address, phone, program description, and superintendent.

The image reinforces that Anthony is a Greenbrier County state correctional center, while jail custody for new county arrests belongs to the regional jail system.

Anthony Correctional Center Reentry Programs

The WVDCR FY2025 Annual Report describes Anthony's replacement project as more than a housing rebuild. The project includes a new vocational education building that allows offenders to take welding, and the automotive shop class was moved to Building B. WVVA reported that the renovation work also included demolition and rebuilding of the main building, a new female housing unit, a new kitchen and laundry building, and an energy plant for Building B. Completion was projected for spring 2026 in the FY2025 material.

Anthony's young-adult focus makes those program details central to the facility page. WVDCR agencywide programming also includes treatment, peer recovery support, medication-assisted treatment, transition planning, family-dynamic and financial-literacy courses, religious volunteers, job fairs, and vocational improvements. Not every program should be assumed available to every Anthony resident at every time, but the official sources support describing Anthony as a program-centered correctional facility rather than a basic holding jail.

Anthony and Southern Jail

Anthony Correctional Center and Southern Regional Jail often appear in the same Greenbrier County custody research, but they solve different search problems. Southern Regional Jail is the practical jail for Greenbrier County arrestees and uses the regional jail offender search plus Daily Incarcerations. Anthony is a WVDCR correctional center in Greenbrier County for young adult offenders in a court-linked program. Searching the wrong system can produce no result even when the person is in custody somewhere else.
