Victim Information & Notification Everyday (VINE)
What will VINE do for me?
VINE will tell you if a youth is in the custody of the Oregon Department of Corrections, Oregon Youth Authority or a county jail, and will give you other important custody and/or probation information. VINE will also let you leave a phone number where you want to be called automatically when that youth is released, transferred, escapes, dies, or has a change in parole or probation status.
What do I need to do?
Call 1-877-OR-4-VINE from a touch-tone phone and follow the directions.
- If the youth is in custody of one of the agencies listed above, you can leave your phone number to be called when their custody or probation status changes. Enter the phone number where you want to be reached, including area code, followed by the pound (#) key.
- When VINE asks, create and enter a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) that will be easy for you to remember. VINE will ask for your PIN when it calls you.
- When VINE calls, listen to the message, then enter your PIN when asked. Entering the PIN lets VINE know that you received the call, and will stop the service from calling you again.
For youth information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call Victim Information Notification Everyday (VINES) at 1-877-OR-4-VINE.
