For victim-related questions and support, contact Minnesota DOC Victim Assistance Staff at victimassistance.doc@state.mn.us or 651-361-7250. To file a No Contact Directive, submit to the Victim Services and Restorative Justice Unit at 1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 200, Saint Paul, MN 55108, Fax 612-473-5007, or email victimassistance.doc@state.mn.us.
Have a concern about someone in custody? DOC guidance recommends starting by contacting the facility directly. For issues that aren't getting resolved, you can submit concerns through the Office of the Ombuds for Corrections (OBFC). If there's a legal issue involved, Minnesota courts describe Self-Help Centers as a resource when you don't have a lawyer. Some court forms direct service by mail to the Commissioner of Public Safety through the Attorney General's Public Safety Division at 445 Minnesota Street, Suite 1800, St. Paul, MN 55101-2134.
