Jefferson City Corr Center, MO

Every visitor to Jefferson City Corr Center must be pre-approved through a visiting application, which triggers a criminal-history check. Eligible applicants include immediate family, extended family, significant others, friends, and clergy. Visitors are generally limited to visiting one offender unless they're immediate family of more than one. Before you travel, confirm the offender's housing or status, the current visit schedule, and directions. The number and length of visits can vary. Plan to arrive no earlier 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. After you apply, a case manager will process it and notify the offender. Once approved, schedule through the facility's system and expect ID checks and security screening at check-in.

Phone and electronic communication at Jefferson City Corr Center runs through third-party vendors. Incarcerated people place outgoing calls using a personal PIN, and you'll need a vendor account to receive calls or add funds. Most families start by registering through the provider's portal and funding a prepaid or debit option for calling time. Securus is the primary contact for call setup and support (securustech.net, 1-800-844-6591, customerservice@securustech.net). You can add money electronically through JPay, or send a money order or cashier's check payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections with the required DOC deposit slip. Keep in mind that calls, video, and electronic messages are recorded and monitored. Exact services and pricing can vary by vendor and facility.

Jefferson City Correctional Center accepts deposits through JPay electronic transfer or by mail. For mailed deposits, send a money order or cashier's check made payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections (include a DOC deposit slip) to the Offender Finance Office, P.O. Box 1609, Jefferson City, MO 65102. That P.O. Box is for deposits only. Do not send personal mail or photographs there. Mailed deposits normally post within 1–3 business days after receipt. Once funds are available, offenders can check their balance and transaction details on a kiosk inside the facility. For other deposit options like kiosks, approved online vendors, or JPay, follow the payment instructions and always include the inmate's name or inmate number so the deposit applies correctly.
