How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Farmington Correctional Center (FCC) holds in-person visits Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in afternoon blocks. Some afternoons are food visits; others are reserved for treatment offenders. Before you go, get pre-approved through the Missouri DOC online visiting application using the offender's DOC ID—a criminal-history check is completed before final approval. Your application goes electronically to the institutional case manager for processing. Denied? You can appeal in writing within 30 days or reapply after one year. Visits are limited to three visitors per offender, and entry is first-come, first-served. Arrive no more than 30 minutes before the visit starts. Expect security screening, including full-body (Intercept) scanners, and follow the facility dress code. For food visits, containers are restricted and leftovers must be removed or discarded when you leave.
