Victim Services offers assistance to the victims of crimes while an individual is incarcerated.

Services

Notification of term release, escape or death

• Updated contact information is required for victim notifications.
• Victims should send address updates to prisonvictimservices@idoc.idaho.gov.
• For victim services associated with current IDOC facility residents, contact 208-605-4774.

VINELink allows automated notifications by email, text or phone. Teletypewriter (TTY) is also available.

• This system sends emails, texts or phone notifications when residents move or are scheduled for parole hearings. (This is a separate service from IDOC victim services, however we can help you register or answer general questions on VINE notifications.)
• Sign up on the VINE website. Click on the drop-down list and select IDAHO.
• NOTE: Incarcerated individuals often move between and within facilities. This is routine and not a cause for concern.

IDOC Resident/Client Search provides a tool to check on an individual in IDOC custody or on IDOC supervision.

• This tool is updated at 4 a.m. each morning.
• The prison locations page provides information on types of residents in each facility.
• The probation & parole page provides information for individuals under supervision.

Please note for the best service, parole hearing questions should be directed to the Commission of Pardons & Parole.

• Victims can contact the commission's victim services professional by calling 208-334-2520, or emailing parolevictimservices@idoc.idaho.gov
