OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A new system that allows Oklahoma residents to instantly track the status of state inmates is now available to most Oklahomans. Attorney General Drew Edmondson said Friday the Victim Information and Notification Everyday, or VINE, went online this week in Blaine, Cotton, Love and Creek counties. The system is now operational in 55 of the state's 77 counties, including Oklahoma and Tulsa counties.
The criminal tracking system allows Oklahomans to register to be notified about changes in status for Oklahoma inmates.
To date, more than 5,100 people have signed up to receive notifications through the VINE system. More than 125,000 offender searches have been performed either by phone or through the Internet since the program's inception in September 2006.
Edmondson says he hopes to have the program in place in all Oklahoma counties by May 2008.
