Allendale Jail Roster and VINE

Search by name or offender ID to see if someone is held in the Allendale County Detention Center. You can also register for alerts when an inmate is released, transferred, or escapes.

VINE sends notifications by phone, email, text, or through the VINELink app. The service runs in English and Spanish, with other languages available through translation support. A live operator is on call 24 hours a day at 1-800-846-3546. This makes VINE especially useful for Allendale County, where no other online jail roster tool exists.

When you register with VINE, you create a 4-digit PIN. This PIN confirms that you received the notification. You can sign up for alerts on multiple inmates at once. The system calls, texts, or emails you when custody status changes. For families tracking a loved one on the Allendale County jail roster, this is often the most reliable method.

Bond amounts vary based on the offense. Serious felonies may require a bond hearing before a judge. Minor charges often have a pre-set bond that allows quicker release. The Allendale County jail roster reflects whether bond has been set and whether it has been posted.
