How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Moberly Correctional Center starts with a visiting application. Your application triggers a criminal-history check, and the offender is responsible for letting you know if you're approved. Eligible applicants include immediate family, extended family, significant others, friends, and clergy. You're generally limited to visiting one offender unless you're immediate family of multiple offenders. If your application is denied, you can submit a written appeal within 30 days to the Deputy Division Director of Adult Institutions at the Missouri Department of Corrections. Start the application online, then wait for final approval before scheduling or showing up. Arrive early enough to check in and pass security screening. Most facilities require advance scheduling and expect a photo ID.
