If you are interested in general DOC information like how to keep in contact with inmates, scheduling visits, or placing money on the books, InmatesPlus can help with pages with the type of allowable items, how to stay in contact, and even appropriate topics and benefits of keeping contact. While some specifics may vary from state to state or facility to facility, these pages can provide you an idea of what DOC information is needed and how to best help someone who is serving time. Specific to keeping in touch with inmates, this is an important part of rehabilitation. Inmates who hear, with regularity, from friends and family on the outside, tend to have more to look forward to when they are released. This can include phone calls, written letters, e-mail where available, and even books to read or money placed on their account. Each little act to keep an inmate connected to the outside world is helpful.

DOC information is important whether you know someone who has been arrested or simply suspect someone has been arrested or has been moved to a local facility. DOC information can vary greatly from state to state and even between facilities. When you need to find specific information, it is best to start with the specific facility which is listed by state on InmatesPlus.com. The specific information about an inmate can be found with an inmate ID number and/or a full legal name, though some facilities will provide a general list with just a last name.

When you need information on an inmate, but have nowhere to start beyond a state and a name, then InmatesPlus can help. When you are unable to locate an inmate in Oregon, yet know the general area that they are located in, InmatesPlus offers links to every facility that is available in the state of Oregon. These links can provide specific information about a facility and an inmate as long as you have an inmate ID or a full legal name. If this is not the type of information you need then other options exist.

VINELink is a separate third party site that can help if you are unable to locate an inmate in Oregon. VINELink requires registration for use, but stands by that information remaining confidential. Initially, VINELink was started for victims of crime, known as the Victim Information and Notification Everyday site. Designed to help victims find peace of mind following a crime, this site is updated once every 24 hours. Though the site was designed as a site for victims, it is open to all users. All you need is an inmate name or number and preferably a state, but this is not completely necessary. The site then provides all the public information available on that particular inmate. This may include a mug shot, the date of sentencing, sentence length, charges, and more. It takes very little information to locate an inmate, why not gain the peace of mind you want with the information you richly deserve.
