Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE)

Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) is a service of the Oregon Department of Corrections and Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office that allows anyone to retrieve information about the status of an inmate in Deschutes County Corrections system via telephone. Examples of information include:

• Inmate status and charges
• Inmate location
• Inmate’s next court date, time and location
• Inmate’s scheduled release date

Call 1-877-674-8463 any time, seven days a week for offender information or to register for notification services.

How Do I Use VINE?
If you are calling from a rotary phone dial 1-877-674-8463 and wait to speak to an operator.

If you are calling from a touch-tone phone, please listen for instructions.

Please remember: if you are in fear of your safety, please do not wait until the release of an individual to take precautionary measures.

Helpful Hints
Be sure to spell the offender’s name correctly on the phone keypad. If you have the offender’s SID number, use it instead of the name to locate the offender in VINE. Keep track of the inmate’s SID number if you have it. The inmate number stays with the inmate no matter how many charges or whether the inmate enters the correctional system more than once.

You will be given two options to search for the offenders. Press 1 to search the Department of Corrections, which is the State Prison system. Press 2 to search for the offender in any county jail in Oregon.

To register, you must give V.I.N.E. one or more phone numbers where you can be reached, or someone you trust can be reached. The V.I.N.E. system will continue to call until it gets the correct 4-digit code that you used when you registered. Be sure to remember your PIN number by writing it down and keeping it in a safe place.

Once you have been notified that an inmate’s location has changed, you do not need to reregister to be notified of the inmate’s release. Your name will remain in V.I.N.E. until an inmate’s release from custody.
