VINE STORY

“VINE allows me to just…be”

VINE gives me the ability to let my guard down when I know he is in custody – I breathe a little easier, I walk more confidently, enjoy more freedom. I go to the movies or grocery store – normal places – without fear.

VINE STORY

“I tell anyone who works with victims in any way: 'You need to know about Vine.'”

For 25 years there wasn’t a day that passed where I didn’t wonder about the perpetrators of my brother’s murder. After discovering VINE, it took me some time to find the nerve to search for the two individuals who killed Oscar. VINE turned my feelings of helplessness into feelings of empowerment.

VINE STORY

“Satisfied that I will be notified and empowered because knowledge is power.”

I clicked the VINE button on the county jail site and it took me right to the page I needed.

I received all the information I needed and then registered for notifications. The registration took less than 30 seconds and I was done. I also had enough time to actually respond to your survey and provide feedback. Thank you!
