Victim Information
and Notification Everyday: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Information: For inmate custody
information, call 1-877-VINE4-LA (1-877-846-3452) and follow the
prompts. Callers use basic information to search the VINE database.
VINE will quickly tell the caller if the inmate is still in custody
and provide custody location. Victims may call VINE from any touchtone
phone, any time, to check on an inmate's custody status. Notification: Callers may then choose to register for an automated notification call when an inmate is released or transferred. To register, callers simply enter the phone number, including area code, where they want to be reached. Callers will then be asked to enter a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for use during notification. The service will automatically call when one of the above events occurs. |

| Los Angeles County VINE Service - Questions and Answers: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
How do I participate in the VINE program? To find an inmate
or register for notification, you must call the VINE hotline directly
from a touch-tone phone. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What
is a PIN? The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a four digit number chosen by the caller to be used to stop notification calls from VINE. The PIN should be a number that is easy to remember. Entering a PIN is the only way to confirm and stop VINE notification calls. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What
if I'm not at home or my phone is busy when VINE calls? The VINE service will keep trying to reach you. If there is no answer or the line is busy, VINE will continue to call every half hour for 24 hours. VINE will leave a message on an answering machine, but will continue to call every two hors for the 24-hour period. Since VINE calls automatically when an inmate's custody status changes, release or transfer notification calls may come in the middle of the night. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can
I register more than one telephone number with VINE? Yes. You may provide two numbers to VINE during a registration call. Your family, friends, and other concerned persons may also check on offender status and register for notification. Each registration is separate and requires a PIN. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Does
VINE guarantee my safety? No. The VINE program is designed to provide you with quick and easy access to inmate information and to alert you when an inmate's custody status changes. Do not depend solely on VINE or any other program for your safety. If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Which
inmates are monitored by the VINE service? Only inmates in custody within the Los Angeles County Jail System will be included in the Los Angeles County VINE service. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How
do I discontinue the service?

been a phone number entered incorrectly and/or there are calls to
persons not requiring or no longer needing this service, please
