Released inmates walk out with paperwork listing the next court date and any conditions the judge ordered. Conditions can include no contact orders, GPS monitoring, curfews, and drug testing. Missed court dates trigger a failure to appear charge and can cause bond forfeiture. Victims can use VINELink to track a Pike County release or transfer any time.
