Colorado VINELink Custody Status
Colorado VINE is available through VINELink for custody status and notifications. The research identifies Colorado VINE phone support at 1-888-263-8463. VINE is helpful before and around release because it can notify registered users when a participating agency reports a custody change.
VINE does not replace the official Larimer release record, CDOC offender profile, or court disposition. A result may say released, out of custody, transferred, in custody, unavailable, or another agency-specific label. Read the wording exactly and then cross-check the source system that owns the record.
| VINE item | Use |
|---|---|
| Custody status | Shows the status returned by a participating agency feed |
| Facility or agency | Helps decide whether the case is county, state, or another custody type |
| Get Notified | Starts phone, email, text, TTY, or app notification registration where supported |
| PIN | Used to confirm phone alerts or manage the registration |
Search Colorado VINE
Search for one person, not a whole release list. Colorado VINE is most useful when the user has a name, ID, or enough identity detail to compare a returned record. It is not a replacement for Larimer's releases-by-day table.
- Open Colorado VINE and choose the offender or custody search.
- Search by name or ID number if available.
- Compare the returned name, age or date of birth if shown, facility, agency, and custody status.
- Read the custody status exactly. Do not rewrite a transfer or in-custody result as a release.
- Cross-check Larimer jail, CDOC, BOP, ICE, or court records based on the agency shown.
Colorado VINE Contact
The public contact route is the statewide Colorado VINE system and support line. For the underlying record, contact the agency that supplied the custody feed. That may be Larimer County Jail for a county release, CDOC for state custody, or another agency if the person was transferred.

Register Larimer Release Alerts
After selecting the matching person, choose Get Notified or the equivalent button. Add a notification method, choose phone, email, text or SMS, TTY, or in-app options where the interface offers them, then continue to the PIN step. Use a four-digit PIN the recipient can remember.
Phone alerts may require the PIN to confirm receipt or change the registration. If the status is urgent or unclear, use the agency record too. VINE is a status and notice layer; the originating jail, DOC, court, or federal system remains the record owner.
Cross-Check Larimer VINE Results
VINE works best when paired with the custody system that owns the event. If the VINE result is tied to Larimer County Jail, use the Sheriff's released-inmates page for the official county release row and the records office for older booking records. If the result is tied to CDOC, use the offender search for parole, discharge, PED, MRD, and sentence-discharge fields. If the result does not match the expected agency, slow down and compare identity details before relying on it.
A VINE status can lag or use wording that differs from the jail or DOC record. That does not make it useless. It means the result should be read as a notification feed. The strongest verification comes when the VINE status, county release row, court record, or DOC profile point to the same event.
| VINE result points to | Cross-check source |
|---|---|
| Larimer County Jail | Larimer released-inmates feed or LCSO Records |
| Colorado prison or parole | CDOC offender search and parole hearing list |
| Court event or case status | Colorado Judicial Branch docket or records request |
| No clear match | Use more identity details before drawing a conclusion |
VINE Is Not an Archive
Colorado VINE is valuable for alerts because custody can change quickly. It is not designed to replace a jail release archive, court disposition, or state offender profile. A released Larimer County inmate may appear in VINE if the participating feed updates, but the official county release record is still the Larimer release page or records request. A state-prison release remains a CDOC record. A federal release remains a BOP or ICE matter depending on custody type.
That boundary keeps the page accurate. Use VINE for one-person status and notice registration. Use records offices and official locators for documents, field-by-field release data, and older events.
Colorado VINE Release Scenarios
VINE is strongest before release or shortly after a custody change because it can send a notice when the participating feed updates. For a Larimer County Jail release, that notice should be matched to the official released-inmates feed when available. For a prison release, match it to CDOC offender search. For a transfer, use the agency shown by VINE and the release reason shown by the county or state record.
VINE also helps when a family member or case participant needs a status notice but does not need a full record packet. It is not the tool for old booking records, charge summaries, sentence calculations, or court dispositions. Use the PIN and notification settings carefully, then keep the official record source handy for exact fields and dates.
Best VINE Verification Route
The strongest VINE route starts with a specific person and ends with a source-system check. Search Colorado VINE by name or ID, compare the agency and custody status, then verify the same person in the Larimer release feed, CDOC profile, court record, or federal locator as appropriate. Register for alerts when future custody changes matter, but use the originating agency for the official release record.
Because VINE is a notification layer, it is most useful when someone wants to know about a future release, transfer, or custody change. For record fields, dates, charges, and dispositions, use the agency record behind the notice. If a VINE result and Larimer record differ, check timing and agency source before deciding which record answers the specific custody question. VINE can alert, but the sheriff, DOC, court, BOP, or ICE record still controls the final source-specific wording. This is especially important in Larimer because the county release feed already has its own delay, day table, and record fields.
Colorado VINE After Alert
A VINE alert should start a verification step, not end it. If the alert concerns Larimer County Jail, check the Larimer release feed or sheriff records for the release event. If the alert concerns a state offender, use CDOC offender search for parole, discharge, or facility status. If the alert says transfer, identify the receiving agency before describing the person as released to the community. VINE is valuable because it can notify quickly, but the formal record still belongs to the jail, DOC, court, BOP, or ICE system involved.
The notification workflow also has a practical detail: the PIN. Registration can include phone, email, text, TTY, or in-app methods where supported, and the four-digit PIN may be needed to confirm or manage phone notifications. Keep that PIN accessible. If the VINE result wording is unclear, repeat the search, compare identity details, and use the official record source tied to the custody type.
Colorado VINE is especially useful during the gap between expected release and posted records. Larimer's public release page has a display delay, while VINE may provide a custody-change notice from a participating feed. If a notice arrives before the table updates, wait for the official release row or request the record from the owning office. If the table shows release but VINE does not, use the Larimer row as the county source and treat VINE as a notification tool rather than a complete archive.
For records older than the notification window, VINE is usually not the best archive. Use Larimer Sheriff Records, CDOC offender search, court records, BOP, or ICE based on the custody type. VINE's value is timely notice and status context. It helps monitor change, while the agency record explains the legal meaning of that change. Treat it as a companion to official records, not a replacement for them in Larimer County release work or court follow-up records requests and status checks.
