VINE Victim Notification

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a statewide notification system available for the Isanti County Jail. You can search for any inmate by name or offender ID and register for automatic alerts when their custody status changes. This covers releases, transfers, and court-related movements. The service is free and does not require you to be a crime victim to register.

Sign up at VINELink.com or call 1-877-664-8463. You can choose to receive alerts by phone call, text, or email. The registration is confidential. The inmate is not told that someone has registered to track them. VINE works across all Minnesota county jails and DOC facilities, so if someone transfers from Cambridge to a state prison, alerts continue automatically.

VINE is the best tool for staying informed about custody changes without having to call the jail or check the roster every day.

Minnesota DOC Offender Locator

Individuals sentenced on felony charges in Isanti County may be transferred to a Minnesota state prison. Once that happens, they will no longer appear on the Isanti County jail roster. The Minnesota DOC offender locator covers all adults under state supervision and is the right tool for tracking someone after a county jail transfer to a DOC facility.

Search the MN DOC Offender Locator by name or DOC offender number. The tool is free, does not require registration, and is updated regularly. Results include supervision status, facility, and projected release information. Isanti County residents sentenced on felonies often end up at DOC facilities in other parts of the state, making the DOC locator the right follow-up tool after a county conviction.

Individuals with qualifying predatory offense convictions in Minnesota must register their address with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension under Minnesota Statute 243.166.

Anyone released from the Isanti County Jail who was convicted of a qualifying offense may appear on the registry.

Search at coms.doc.state.mn.us/PublicRegistrantSearch. Community notification rules under Minnesota Statute 244.052 govern how local law enforcement communicates with communities about high-risk registrants.
