WHAT IS VINE?

VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. Kentucky is the first state in the nation to provide an automated, statewide victims’ notification system.

Through computer-generated telephone calls, all registered persons will be contacted at a predetermined number when an inmate is scheduled for release or if an inmate escapes from custody.

Learn more about the system here: https://www.ag.ky.gov/Resources/Victim-Resources/Pages/vine.aspx
