How to Register for Automatic VINE Notifications — Kings County Jail
Want automatic alerts when someone's custody status changes at Kings County Jail? VINE handles that. Once you register, the system watches the jail's booking records and notifies you when specific custody events happen.
VINE monitors custody status for people held at Kings County Jail. Instead of checking for updates yourself, you register once and the system does the watching for you. It pulls fresh booking information frequently, so changes show up fast.
VINE syncs with the Kings County Jail booking system every 15 minutes. Your notifications are based on regularly refreshed records - not a once-a-day batch update.
To register by phone, call 1-800-491-0689. You’ll need to use a touch-tone telephone so you can follow the prompts and complete the registration.
Prefer to handle things online? Register through VINELink at www.vinelink.com. You can type in your information and manage notifications from your account.
Whether you register by phone or online, you'll need enough identifying information to find the right person in the system. Start with their name. If multiple records come up, be ready to narrow it down.
Once you're registered, VINE calls you when certain custody events happen: release from custody (for any reason), escape, return to custody after escape, transfer to another facility, or advance notice of an upcoming release.
When something triggers a notification, VINE doesn't call just once. It keeps calling every 30 minutes for up to 24 hours - or until you enter the correct PIN to confirm you got the message.
Note: VINE pulls updated Kings County Jail booking data every 15 minutes, so notifications reflect near-real-time changes.
Kings County VINE is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Register or check information whenever you need to.
The Kings County VINE service is available in both English and Spanish.
