What Is VINELink?

VINELink is a free national victim notification service that also allows the public to search for inmate status information. It is used in many states as a way to find an inmate's current facility, custody status, and scheduled release date. VINELink is particularly useful in Louisiana and other states where it serves as the primary public inmate search tool. The service also sends automatic notifications when an inmate's status changes.

A Louisiana family uses VINELink at vinelink.vineapps.com to find their loved one's current LDOC facility and confirm which provider to use for phone calls before setting up a Securus account.
