Notification Calls |
|
The VINE system will allow callers to leave a phone number if they want to be called automatically when an offender’s custody status changes, such as being released or transferred. The computer will also notify registered callers if their offender escapes, dies, or has a change in parole or probation/parole/post-prison supervision status.
Crime victims and concerned citizens may register for VINE’s notification feature by calling the VINE toll-free number. Callers will need to provide VINE with the following information:
- A telephone number, including area code, where they can be reached for notification.
