Visitation at Algoa Correctional Center

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Start by completing the Missouri DOC online visitor application. You'll need the offender's DOC ID, and they'll be notified of your application status. The case manager processes applications, so wait for final approval before attempting to visit. Once approved, schedule your visit through the facility's scheduling system. Many Missouri DOC sites require advance scheduling and may limit how often you can visit. Visits are normally limited to three visitors per offender, though small-child exceptions may apply. The institution can also restrict visitor counts or visit length. Plan your arrival carefully: don't show up more than 30 minutes before visiting begins. Entry is first-come, first-served, and no person or pet may remain in a vehicle on institutional grounds. If your application is denied, you can appeal in writing within 30 days using the address on the denial notice.
