Visitation Information for Stevens Correctional Facility

The inmates at Stevens Facility are Level 2 and Level 3 inmates.  The West Virginia Division of Corrections Offender Orientation Manual contains a complete explanation of how inmates are classified. 

The living conditions at the Stevens Correctional Center has been the subject of some concern in West Virginia, which prompted the transfer of an assistant warden from another state facility to Stevens Correctional Center in January, 2016.  Though the reasons for concern have not been made public, the fact that the state responded to those concerns indicates that there should be some improvement in living conditions for inmates at the facility.  Like other West Virginia prisons, inmates complain of overcrowding.  There are also concerns that overcrowding has resulted, in the past, in Level 4 inmates being held at the facility in addition to the Level 2 and Level 3 inmates.  Otherwise, inmates and family members report that the staff is courteous and responsive to inmate and family concerns.  However, inmates and family members do indicate that receiving adequate healthcare services can be very difficult.
