Alerts and Other Systems
MI-VINE supports specific-person custody checks and notifications at 800-770-7657; TTY is 866-847-1298. Federal prison history belongs in the BOP locator, while federal pretrial movement may require the Western District court docket or U.S. Marshals district contact. Possible immigration custody uses the ICE locator and Detroit Field Office. A result missing from one of these systems does not establish release from another.
