Mount Olive, WV Slayton Work Camp View
Slayton Work Camp in Mount Olive, Fayette County, West Virginia, is a state correctional work camp associated with the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation. It generally houses sentenced adult inmates who are assigned to lower-security custody and work-related programming, rather than serving as the main local holding facility for new county arrests.

People arrested locally in Fayette County may first be processed through a regional jail or another intake facility before any transfer to a state facility, depending on their case status and classification.

How to Find an Inmate at Slayton Work Camp
To find an inmate, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation offender search. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, facility location, and custody status. New records are not always searchable right away. Processing, identity verification, and system updates can take several hours after booking or transfer, so an inmate may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate regional jail for guidance.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Slayton Work Camp?
Visiting is usually limited to approved visitors and must follow the facility’s schedule and rules. Contact the facility before traveling to confirm visiting days, sign-up requirements, dress code, and whether visits must be scheduled in advance.
What do I need to bring when visiting Slayton Work Camp?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or state ID. Minors usually must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and visitors should bring only approved items because personal property may be restricted.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls, but they may place outgoing calls through the approved phone system. If video visits are offered, families usually need to create an account with the approved provider and follow scheduling rules.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name and identification number, if known, and use the mailing address listed by the facility. Mail is usually inspected, and items such as cash, prohibited materials, or unapproved packages may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Families may be able to deposit funds through the approved payment system, but limits, fees, and posting times can vary.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Slayton Work Camp?
Bail is set by a court, not by the facility. Because this is generally a state work camp for sentenced inmates, bond may not apply unless the person has a pending case; contact the court, magistrate clerk, or facility for the correct posting instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Slayton Work Camp and when will the inmate appear in the system?
Intake usually includes identity verification, property processing, health screening, security review, and housing or work assignment decisions. Records may take several hours to appear online after booking or transfer, so the inmate may not show in the system immediately.
