Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Orange County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the statewide custody system

Vermont uses a unified state correctional system rather than separate county sheriff jails. Start with the statewide custody locator or notification service linked here. A person arrested very recently may still be with the arresting police agency before transfer; contact that agency if no record appears.

Vermont DOC custody and community-supervision status information after DOC intake. Police station holding or another agency’s custody before DOC intake must be checked with that agency. A local arrest does not establish DOC intake.

Vermont DOC / VINE status assistance — 866-976-8267

After DOC intake is confirmed, call 866-976-8267 for status information or use the official DOC custody locator. Confirm present custody and location; facility-to-facility and out-to-court transfer notifications were discontinued in August 2025.

Find the responsible local agency

Find the county/agency, then use its published jail or custody-assistance instructions.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Vermont correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail, or in the unified state system. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Vermont has no county jails run by county sheriffs. Start with the state Department of Correction or responsible statewide custody service. Vermont uses a unified state correctional system rather than separate county sheriff jails. Start with the statewide custody locator or notification service linked here. A person arrested very recently may still be with the arresting police agency before transfer; contact that agency if no record appears.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.

Nearby counties in Vermont

If the arrest happened just across a county line, these Vermont counties are geographic navigation aids. Open a guide for official custody resources; these links do not establish detention or transport destinations.

If you need to bail them out in Vermont

Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in Vermont.

Commercial bail available

Release depends on the court’s order. A payment is not required in every case. Ask the court which secured-bond options, if any, are permitted; a private commercial bond service has separate fees and conditions. Confirm the process before paying anyone.

The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.

Common questions about finding someone in Orange County

How do I find someone who was just arrested in Orange County?

Vermont uses a unified state correctional system rather than separate county sheriff jails. Start with the statewide custody locator or notification service linked here. A person arrested very recently may still be with the arresting police agency before transfer; contact that agency if no record appears.

How do I find someone in state prison from Orange County?

For a state-prison sentence, use the Vermont correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail, or in the unified state system. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

Is there a free way to check if someone is in custody in Vermont?

Public custody searches are free. Vermont DOC custody and community-supervision information and notification registration. DOC discontinued facility-to-facility and out-to-court transfer notifications in August 2025; use the custody locator for location information. Check whether the responsible local agency participates. Use its contact when the service is unavailable; a missing record does not establish release.

How does bail work for someone held in Orange County?

Ask the court or responsible jail for the release order and permitted options. Court deposits and private service fees are different, conditions vary, and payment does not guarantee release.
