Sign up with a name or ID number and VINE sends a call, text, or email when that person gets released or transferred. It works for both county jail inmates and state prison inmates. Ohio law under ORC §2930.16 gives victims the right to be notified about changes in an offender's status.

The state prison database runs under ORC §5120.66. This law requires the ODRC to maintain searchable records on all state inmates. County jail rosters like the one in Holmes County fall under the sheriff's authority instead.
