How to Visit Moberly Correctional Center, MO (MO)

Visiting sessions run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with two windows each day: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Plan your trip around those start times, because arrival timing is limited.

You need to be pre-approved before you can visit. Start by filling out the visiting application thoroughly and honestly. The department will run a criminal history check. If you're approved, the offender is responsible for letting you know, so make sure they have a way to reach you and know to tell you when you're cleared.

Don't show up too early. You can arrive in the facility parking lot no earlier than 30 minutes before the session starts. Plan your car situation ahead of time, too. No person or pet may remain in a vehicle on institutional grounds.

Entry is first-come, first-served, so arriving within that allowed window still matters. Your approval is also tied to a specific person. You can only visit one offender, unless you're an immediate family member of more than one.

1. Complete the visiting application - You must be pre-approved to visit, so fill out the application fully and honestly.
2. Expect a criminal history check - A criminal history check will be conducted as part of the approval process.
