Colorado VINE for Pueblo County
Colorado VINE is available through vinelink.vineapps.com/state/CO/ENGLISH and the VINELink state route at vinelink.com/state/CO. The Colorado service provides custody-status and criminal-case information where participating agencies feed data. For Pueblo County, that makes VINE a key fallback because the researched sheriff pages did not show a public 24-hour release list, 72-hour release list, or released archive.
VINE should be read alongside the Pueblo County sheriff's current-custody app at public.pcnet.app/inmates.html. The sheriff app can show current jail rows and detail fields while a person is in custody. VINE can help monitor a custody change, such as release or transfer, where the relevant agency feed supports it.
How to Search VINE
Use VINE for a specific person, not as a substitute for a Pueblo County release archive. The goal is to match the right person, read the current custody status, and register for notifications if the person is found.
- Open Colorado VINE or the VINELink Colorado state page.
- Choose the offender or person search path if the interface asks.
- Enter first and last name, or an offender, inmate, or agency ID if known.
- Select Colorado and refine by agency or facility if the interface offers that filter.
- Compare identifiers before relying on a match. Use date of birth, ID, facility, case information, or other available details.
- Open the matching result and read the custody status. If the person is in custody, note the facility. If the person is released or out of custody, note the status and any date or label shown.
- If no result appears, try spelling variations, then check the sheriff app, sheriff Records, the court docket, or CDOC directly.

What VINE Shows
VINE fields vary by agency feed and by the live interface. Treat VINE as a custody-status and notification system. It can point you toward the current or changed custody status, but it does not replace the underlying jail, court, or DOC record.
| VINE item | How to use it for Pueblo County |
|---|---|
| Name or ID | Compare with the sheriff app, court case, booking number, or DOC number before relying on the result. |
| Custody status | May show in custody, released, out of custody, transferred, or a similar custody-change label depending on the feed. |
| Facility or agency | Helps separate Pueblo County jail custody from state prison, another county, or another participating agency. |
| Release or status date | Use as a notification clue, then confirm exact release time, reason, and destination through jail records or the responsible agency. |
| Get Notified option | Registers alerts for future custody changes where VINE notification methods are available. |
Register for Release Alerts
VINE's most useful role for a Pueblo County release question is notification. If a person is still in custody or appears in a participating agency feed, registration can alert the user when the status changes.
- Open the matching VINE record after checking identifiers.
- Select "Get Notified" or the equivalent notification button.
- Choose the available notification method: phone, email, text, in-app notification, or TTY where available.
- Enter the phone number or email address requested by the interface.
- Choose a language if prompted.
- Create a PIN for phone notification confirmation if required.
- Confirm the registration and save the registration details. If VINE calls, enter the PIN when prompted to confirm receipt and stop repeated calls.
- Update or cancel the registration if contact information changes.
The VINELink app listing describes custody-status information and notification methods where available, including in-app, phone, email, text, and TTY. Availability depends on agency feeds and the live VINE interface.
VINE as Pueblo's Alert Layer
Pueblo County's public sheriff app is current-custody only in the researched sources, so VINE fills a different job: alerts. It does not publish the sheriff's jail file and it does not create a rolling list of everyone released from the Pueblo County Detention Center. It can, however, notify a registrant when a participating facility sends a release, transfer, escape, or other custody-change event.
This is especially helpful when a person may leave the current jail roster outside ordinary business hours or over a weekend. The VINE status should still be reconciled with the Pueblo County Detention Center at 3830 Medal of Honor Blvd., sheriff Records, or court records when the exact release basis matters.
County Jail vs CDOC Status
Pueblo County has both a county detention center and state correctional facilities. A person released from the Pueblo County Detention Center is a county-jail release or transfer event. A person released from La Vista Correctional Facility, San Carlos Correctional Facility, the Youthful Offender System, or another Colorado prison is a CDOC event.
If VINE indicates a transfer or if the court docket shows a state sentence, search CDOC Offender Search. CDOC profiles may show custody status, facility assignment, parole assignment, estimated release, mandatory release, discharge, or supervision fields depending on the record. CDOC also warns users to confirm information with the department because public data can contain inaccuracies.
VINE Limits and Confirmation
VINE does not compute release dates, replace court records, issue certified release records, or guarantee advance notice before every release. It reports custody changes after receiving agency data, and data can lag. A person can move from jail to CDOC, federal custody, ICE custody, hospital custody, another county, or community release. The VINE status must be interpreted with that destination in mind.
| Need | Confirm with |
|---|---|
| Current Pueblo jail custody | Sheriff Inmate Lookup or direct public app. |
| Exact jail release date, time, or reason | Pueblo County Detention Center or sheriff Records. |
| Bond, disposition, probation, or future hearing | Colorado Judicial Branch Docket Search or Pueblo Combined Court records. |
| State prison release, parole, or discharge | CDOC Offender Search and CDOC confirmation routes. |
| Federal release | BOP locator or federal court and custody channels. VINE is not the BOP release record. |
| Immigration custody after jail release | ICE Online Detainee Locator or immigration case channels when legally applicable. |
If VINE Finds No Match
A no-result VINE search does not prove the person was never held or was not released. Names can be spelled differently, agency feeds can lag, some records may age out of display, and VINE coverage depends on participating agency data. Try name variations and compare any known booking number, case number, date of birth, or DOC number.
Then use the Pueblo-specific fallback chain: the sheriff current-custody app, sheriff Records, Colorado Judicial Branch docket search, CDOC Offender Search, BOP for federal inmates, or ICE ODLS for current immigration custody. Keep those systems separate because each one answers a different custody question.
