Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center

Visiting at Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center (FRDC) starts with pre-approval through the facility's online visiting application. You'll need the offender's DOC ID, and you must complete the form honestly—approval includes a criminal-history check. FRDC approves immediate and extended family, significant others, friends, and clergy. You're generally limited to visiting only one offender unless you're immediate family of multiple offenders. Visiting hours run Friday–Sunday, 9:30am–1:30pm and 2:30pm–6:30pm. Arrive in the parking lot no earlier than 30 minutes before visiting starts—entry is first-come, first-served. Security screening includes metal detectors, X-ray baggage scanners, and the Intercept full-body scanner (adults 18+ unless an approved exception applies). Visitors, children, packages, and vehicles may all be searched. Bring valid photo ID, follow dress and contact rules, and note that reception/orientation status limits visits to one per month while awaiting assignment.

You can't call someone at Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center directly—offenders cannot receive incoming calls. They can place outgoing calls when they're not on restricted status, using collect, debit, or prepaid calling. Tablet phone apps may also be available. The inmate uses a personal PIN to place calls, and all calls are monitored for security. Call time can be paid for several ways: deposits through kiosks/canteen, setting up a vendor account with Securus, making Securus AdvanceConnect prepaid deposits, or using JPay tablet apps (where available). Getting unwanted calls? Use the automated phone prompts to block the number. If calls continue, contact the institution so staff can address the issue.

Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center accepts in-person deposits through MoneyGram cash payments. JPay provides the instructions for completing a MoneyGram ExpressPayment at a local agent location. Bring valid photo ID, then fill out the blue ExpressPayment form using the "Missouri DOC" receive code 2439. For the inmate's account number, use the inmate's ID number followed by their last name. After you pay, keep the MoneyGram reference number as proof of payment. Using other deposit methods? Kiosk and card transactions usually post quickly, while mailed deposits like money orders can take a few business days to process.

The main way to find an offender linked to Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center is the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search. It lists people currently supervised by the Missouri Department of Corrections. Don't see the person you're looking for? The search doesn't include discharged offenders and may omit certain restricted records—so a missing result doesn't always mean someone was never in DOC custody. For the best match, start with a first and last name and include any known aliases. Add a date of birth or address to narrow results if you have them. Still no luck? Try name variations or fill in more search fields. For current custody status or local bookings, use VINELink or the county jail roster as a supplement.
