How Do I Verify Which Jail Someone Is Actually In?

my question is this. I called the county they say my person is not there. I look online and it gives an inmate number with cell info by no sentencing or release date. The site states he is currently housed in a county in Georgia. I am from the north. How do I actually verify that someone is definitely in jail and which jail are they in?

Start with VINELink.com, a free national victim and family notification service that provides real-time inmate location and custody status across most county and state systems. If the county denies having them but an inmate number exists online, VINELink can help confirm where they are held.
