And knowing when that person is released can bring awareness that is important. A new service now available to crime victims in Hall County can help bring that security and awareness. NE4 VINE to obtain an inmate's status. This way, victims can obtain information at any time. VINE also has protections built in.
Callers are anonymous.
Inmates will never know who is checking on them. Also, people who register with the system will be given a pin number so it can be confirmed that the victim has received information. Thirty-five states now have VINE, and every county in Nebraska, with the exception of Dodge, is included. Dodge will join the system later this month. Any peace of mind that can be given crime victims is invaluable to them and society.
