Get Free VINE Alerts for Inmates at Harvey County Detention Center

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a free service that alerts you when someone at the Harvey County Detention Center has a status change. You pick how you want to hear about it: text, phone call, or email. These notifications give you a quick heads-up when something happens, like a court appearance, transfer, or release. Planning childcare, arranging rides, requesting time off work, or taking safety precautions? Those fast updates can make a real difference.

Events Covered

• ✓ Court appearance
• ✓ Release
• ✓ Transfer

When you get a VINE alert, use it as a prompt to verify details directly with the Harvey County Detention Center. Alerts are helpful for awareness, but they're not the same as staff confirming what happens next. This matters especially when you're coordinating pickup after a release or trying to find out where someone was transferred. Call as soon as you can. Ask whether the person is still in custody, whether they have a court appearance coming up, and what the next steps are if the alert mentions a transfer or release. Planning to go in person based on an alert? Make sure you know what the facility requires before you drive over so you don't waste a trip.

1. Call the Harvey County Detention Center - Use the main line, (316) 284-6800, and explain that you received a VINE status-change alert so you can confirm what it means.
2. Go to the facility if you are told you need to handle something in person - The physical address is 800 N Main St, Newton, KS 67114.
3. Bring identification if you are picking someone up or handling paperwork - Ask on the phone what you should bring and what the next step is based on the alert you received.

VINE notifications for Harvey County Detention Center inmates are free. You can get them by text, phone, or email. When you register, pick the contact method you actually check. The whole point of VINE is getting the alert quickly. The Detention Center's materials mention VINE as the notification network but don't include a sign-up link.
