Once an individual has been arrested and booked in the Regional Jail that information becomes public record. However, after a person is released their information is no longer available, unless the crime was reported by the news; the general public might not be able to obtain that information.

Also the paper is provided for enhanced community awareness, the more you inform the public about who is being arrested in their neighborhoods the better they can watch out for criminal activity. Locked-Up is so valuable to identify and expose repeat offenders.

Each issue has a sexual offenders section which provides details on 54 registered sex offenders in WV. This information is crucial to parents and school officials to help protect their children. "A mother of three little girls stated she had no clue a registered sex offender lived right next door to her until she looked at a copy of our paper".

Where can it be found?
Locked-Up can be found in various gas stations and convenience stores. If any store owners or managers are interested in carrying our publication they can contact us through our distributor request form.

The response from the community has been amazing and our papers are flying off the shelves! The more people talk about it, the more they become informed and that’s the purpose of the publication. In today’s society it’s important to know who is living in your neighborhood.
