How to Stay Informed About an Inmate's Release at Hamilton Correctional Facility: Florida's VINE Service

VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. The Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) Victim Services Unit runs this program statewide, supporting victims connected to inmates and offenders under DOC supervision.

Hamilton Correctional Facility is a Florida DOC facility, so it falls under this system. That's why the DOC Victim Services Unit - and the VINE service they administer - is your go-to resource for release-related updates about someone housed at Hamilton.

The main reason people use VINE? Peace of mind around release timing. The Florida DOC Victim Services Unit notifies victims before an inmate's release from facilities under DOC supervision, including Hamilton Correctional Facility. If you're a victim trying to plan for safety, housing, childcare, work, or a protective order check-in, advance notice can make a real difference.
