Common Questions
Q
How can I get notified if someone is released?
In Madison County, release notifications are handled through VINE, not by detention staff. Madison County states VINE is available 24/7 for custody status changes and that you can register online or by phone, and it also states detention facility staff does not make release notification phone calls.
Q
Where can I find forms or instructions for visitor background checks or fingerprinting?
If your loved one is in a federal facility, the BOP provides a visitor questionnaire and release form (BP-A0629) that must be completed and returned to the institution address for visiting privileges to be considered. For fingerprinting, a Geneva County instruction sheet states fingerprints may be taken at the Geneva County Jail by appointment only and includes details about an FBI mail option for background checks.
