Get VINE Alerts for Kings County Jail: How to Register and What the Calls Mean

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) tracks custody status for people held at Kings County Jail. The system syncs with the jail's booking records every 15 minutes, so notifications reflect recent updates.

The service runs 24/7, 365 days a year. It's available in English and Spanish, so you can register and receive alerts in whichever language works best for you.

1. Register by phone - Call 1-800-491-0689 from a touch-tone telephone and follow the prompts to sign up for notifications.
2. Register online - Sign up through the VINELink website to receive Kings County VINE notifications.

VINE sends alerts when specific custody events occur. For Kings County, that means release from custody (for any reason), escape, return to custody after an escape, transfer to another facility, and advance notification of release.

When a triggering event happens, VINE doesn't call just once. It keeps calling every 30 minutes for up to 24 hours, or until you enter your PIN to confirm you received the alert. If you're getting repeated calls, the system hasn't registered your PIN confirmation yet.

VINE calls may show up on Caller ID with a 502 area code. Don't bother calling back; the number isn't answered.
