My son is in jail for robbery, one of his neighbors was raided and arrested when they found coke in her home( someone tipped off police and they had a warrant to search her house.) Now she and her family are saying my son was the informant and if they hear that he snitched on them to the police they are putting out a hit on his life. Many of his friends have heard this and have come to my daughter with this information. they say he snitched while in jail to get his sentenced reduced. hearing that there is a threat against him has my whole family upset, and worried. is there anything that can be done to protect him?
People often say things like that in the heat of the moment but as time goes on, feelings get less intense.If they were really serious and had good connections, they could've already had him beat up or killed right there in jail. it happens all the time. Let the jail he's in know that he has a threat on his life. Do you know if the people threatening have any gang affiliation? Because typically if tthe person is in a gang, he will have one of his homies who's in jail too perform the beat down. If you know of the gang this guy might be in, report that information to the facility too, as they know exactly who's who as far as the gang bangers, so it's possible thy might seperate him to another area if possible, if they take you seriously.
My husband works as a Corrections Officer and he gets threatened all day long every day, in fact not only he, but me and our kids too. They're gonna kill me, rape me, kill our kids, the worst things you can imagine, but it's all talk.
I know it's hard for you and you fear for your son, but the rate of actual payback, esp payback that end in a murder is rare. Except in gangs. So if this is gang related, then you may have to worry more. If you live in a smallish town and this is not gang related, you probably don't have much to worry about. Make reports so that it's known to the police that he has been threatened, so there's record of it. That will help you in case you may need to get a restraining order. Having prior reports always helps.
Is it possible that your son could just move when he gets out of jail? That might alleviate some of your worry.
I hope your son is OK and I really hope nothing happens. Hopefully it was just stuff said in anger and as time goes by they'll get over it.
Your local jail will have an area for protective custody (PC) and if there is a credible threat, he can be put in there. Once he is out... well... Texas is a big state. I'd find somewhere else for him to live. Rats are a special kind of low in the criminal community. He ratted out someone else to save his own butt... so I wouldnt listen to passmeby at all since she is clueless when it comes to most things not bartending. The rules arent the same in middle of no where oklahoma, hon.

Hello m:
I'd get a copy of the search warrant. It's a matter of public record. Attached to the warrant will be an affidavit. The affidavit is written by the snitch. If it's NOT your son, show it to the neighbor. If it IS your son, I'd move. The cops aren't gonna protect him... They got what they wanted from him.
Steve, your maturity level astounds me. I gave basically the same answer you did.....tell the jail, get him moved into PC, MOVE when he gets out, so what is wrong with my answer? NOTHING, it is a good answer. If you don't like me, fine, but grow up for pete's sake.

I suspect what you know of gangs and jailhouse payback you learned on Oz, right?
Thats what im talking about you being clueless about. I dont have anything personal against you, but you are talking out your butt for most of this posting that THAT is what I have an issue with.

I find it difficult to believe that the husband of an admitted addict is in any type of law enforcement - or Oklahoma simply doesn't check backgrounds.
No, I think this is more legal advice from the school of "I Saw It In a Made for TV Movie." You know, the one where all the people got killed and/or beaten up in prison for being informants - can't think of the name of it.
EDIT: Upon rethinking this it seems that someone whose husband is in law enforcement is so out of touch with the legal system, so unsure what do do, when arrested for possession of a firearm while intoxicated.
I'm not arguing here, but wow, just wondering exactly what I said that was so wrong/incorrect to get treated like this? I honestly have no clue and I do honestly want to know. Just PM me.
edit: On second thought, nevermind, don't bother. I'll just leave on my own, you don't have to suspend me. I'll only come back to check the question I just asked, once I get an answer I'll never come back. Does that suit you?
