How Are Inmate Records in Vermont Created and Stored?
Inmate records are created by all different types of law enforcement. The process begins when someone is arrested by local police or Sheriff's Office patrolman. The first document filled out is a RAP sheet which contains the perpetrator’s name, address, phone number, physical description, and also details about their crime. Then anything that happens to the inmate gets noted in the file. This may include court visits, moving to a new facility, or participation in a prison program. Everything is kept updated daily. The Vermont Department of Corrections Agency of Human Services is the entity in charge of updating, storing, and creating inmate records. They keep them online in a searchable database. This makes it easy for the public to perform an inmate search at any time of day or night.

Sometimes these police stations have websites of their own with inmate locator features or a list of current jail inmates.

Family, friends, and authorized agents will have an easier time getting information on a minor than someone else will.

Where Do Vermont Inmates Go When They are Released?
Vermont has very few inmates, and therefore, their facilities are in line with confinement rather than reentry or transitional services. They do provide education and treatment for things like addictions and mental health while in prison. However, inmates released from Vermont prisons will simply return home to family and friends.
How Does Parole Work in Vermont?
Vermont’s parole board is an independent committee hired to review the progress of each inmate. Their goal is to “balance victim needs, the risk to public safety, while promoting offender accountability success.” When they feel an inmate is safe to release early, they may do so and order parole. However, the inmate must follow strict rules, including regular check-ins with a parole officer. If they violate any of the terms of his or her parole, they will go back to prison.

How Does Someone Get Probation in Vermont?
Sometimes a Vermont judge will order probation in lieu of prison for low-risk or first-time offenders.

If they fail to follow these rules, they will immediately go to prison.
