York County Jail Inmate Search. VINE & How to Confirm Custody

No searchable roster appears on the Sheriff's Office current website. That leaves VINE at vinelink.vineapps.com/state/ME, or a call to (207) 324-1113, the number listed on the corrections page.

Rated for up to 396 inmates, which makes it the second-largest jail in the state, and the Maine Department of Corrections designates it a Flagship facility.

Ask which housing unit they're in during the same call. Because the jail assigns visiting days, times, and visit types by unit instead of setting one facility-wide schedule, the unit is what determines when you can come. Then check the visitation guide for that unit's specific schedule.

No. The York County Recovery Center, also called the Layman Way Recovery Center, is a substance use treatment and recovery facility York County government built with help from opioid settlement money it received. It holds nobody pretrial or sentenced. The two share the Layman Way name, which is where the confusion starts, but a criminal charge means the jail at 1 Layman Way.

VINE, short for Victim Information and Notification Everyday, is the statewide system Maine uses for custody status on a registered case. Its real advantage is that it keeps watching after you check, sending updates by phone, text, or email when status changes or a release happens.

Not for county charges. Maine DOC's search covers state prisons and community corrections clients, and a county jail this size still sits outside that system. VINE or the jail's own staff are the ones who can answer.

Have the full legal name and date of birth right first, plus a rough booking date if you have one, since bad identifying details are the usual cause. Otherwise the booking may be too recent, they may have been released or posted bail, or a state sentence may have moved them into Maine DOC custody.

1 Layman Way, Alfred, ME 04002. Don't confuse it with the York County Government Building at 149 Jordan Springs Road, which houses other county offices.
