Offenders are not allowed to make threats. 

If an offender is in an NCDAC prison facility and threatens you, you may take the following steps:

  • Document the threat
    • Who threatened you (the offender or a third party such as the offender’s family, offender’s friend)?
    • What was the content of the threat?
    • When were you threatened?
    • How was the threat delivered (mail, telephone, letter, in-person, email, social media, etc.)?
    • Make copies of any documentation you have.
  • Decide if you would like to have our office intervene on your behalf
    • If the incident can be confirmed, the offender can be disciplined.
    • To request that an offender not contact you while in prison, click here to complete the "No Contact Request Form" form here.
    • Send copies of any documentation you have to Victim Support Services. Call us 866-719-0108 for additional information and to discuss options about how VSS can further assist you.

What if I have a protective order in place, but the offender is still communicating or trying to communicate with me?

  • If the offender is currently under a court order not to have contact with you and the offender does so, the threat may be a violation of the court’s order.
  • Decide if you would like to contact your local law enforcement agency, magistrate, and/or district attorney’s office for additional assistance with criminal charges. NCDAC will cooperate with investigations that these agencies decide to conduct.
  • Even if you have a court order in place, you may also make a request to not have contact from an offender while the offender is in NCDAC custody. To do so, click here to complete a "No Contact Request Form." This type of "no contact" request" is only applicable while the offender is NCDAC custody in one of our prison facilities. It is not the same thing as obtaining a civil court protective order which you must get through the state court system. Find information about your local clerk of court here and information about your local domestic violence or sexual assault victim services provider here

Request "No Contact" from Offender while in NCDAC custody
