      IMPORTANT: As of 10/30/2023, VINELink will be replaced by VISOR. Until then, you can still access VINELink. You can use the resource VINELink, an online version of VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday), that allows crime victims to obtain timely and reliable information about criminal cases and the custody status of offenders 24 hours a day.

      VISOR is a free, computer-based service that will allow you to check on an offender’s custody status either in a county or state facility, and to register to receive automatic notification when an individual in custody (IIC) is released or transferred.
