substance to an inmate, use N.C.P.I.-Crim. 233.80. If the offense

The defendant has been charged with furnishing a tobacco product to
an inmate [of the Division of Prisons of the Department of Adult Correction]
[in the custody of a local confinement facility]. (Tobacco product includes a
vapor product.)1
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that (name inmate) was an inmate [of the Department of Adult
Correction] [in the custody of a local confinement facility]. (Name facility) is
[within the Department of Adult Correction] [a local confinement facility].
And Second, that while said inmate was an inmate of (name facility),
the defendant knowingly2 [sold] [gave] a tobacco product to [the inmate] [a
person who was not an inmate for delivery to (name inmate)]3.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date (name inmate) was an inmate at (name facility) and
that the defendant knowingly [sold] [gave] a tobacco product to [the inmate]
[a person who was not an inmate for delivery to (name inmate)], it would be
your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a
reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty to
return a verdict of not guilty.
