How to Contact an Inmate at Algoa Correctional Center (MO)

Visiting hours at Algoa Correctional Center are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Note the midday break. If you arrive during that gap, you'll have to wait.

You must be pre-approved before visiting. Missouri DOC requires a visiting application, and it needs to be filled out completely. Have the offender's Department of Corrections Identification Number (DOC ID) ready; you cannot submit the online application without it. During the process, you'll also agree to comply with visiting regulations, including search.

Once you submit the online application, it goes to the institutional case manager for processing. This step is what turns your application into approved visiting status.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Complete the Missouri DOC online visiting application and fill it out fully, including agreeing to comply with visiting regulations (including search)
• ✓ Enter the offender’s DOC ID, since you need it to submit the application
• ✓ Submit the application and wait while the institutional case manager processes it
• ✓ Plan your visit during Algoa Correctional Center’s visiting hours: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
