This is the online version of VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday), the National Victim Notification Network.   This is a free service that allows crime victims to use the telephone or internet to search for information regarding their offender’s custody status and to register to receive telephone and internet notification when their offender’s custody status is about to change.  To register by telephone a call can be made to the Shelby County VINE Service number:  (877) 590-8463.  There are also links to national victims resources, including an extensive list of Victim Services Resources which has toll-free numbers and the web sites of many, many resources.  There is also a link to the document When the Offender is Behind Bars that includes information to help with crime victims’ questions and concerns.
