How to Visit Algoa Correctional Center (MO)

Algoa Correctional Center limits each visit to 3 visitors per offender. There is an exception for small children: you can include up to 3 additional visitors age 5 and under. If you are trying to bring a bigger group, plan ahead so you do not exceed the limit, and verify the rule is still current before you go.

Timing matters. You can arrive in the parking lot no earlier than 30 minutes before visiting starts, and entry is first-come, first-served. One more thing: no one can wait in a parked car on institutional grounds. That includes pets.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Plan your visitor group for the limit of 3 visitors per offender, with up to 3 additional visitors age 5 and under
• ✓ Arrive at the parking lot no earlier than 30 minutes before visiting starts
• ✓ Expect entry to be first-come, first-served
• ✓ Do not leave any person or pet in a vehicle on institutional grounds

Before you make the trip, confirm a few details. Check that visits are still limited to 3 visitors per offender and that the exception for up to 3 additional children age 5 and under still applies. Verify the exact visiting start time so you know when you can arrive (no more than 30 minutes early). Ask about any additional restrictions, especially since entry is first-come, first-served and no one can wait in vehicles on the grounds.
