South Central Correctional Center: Weekend Visiting Hours and Visitor Limits
Weekend visits at South Central Correctional Center run on a set schedule, but timing and headcount rules trip people up. Here's what you need to know about hours, arrival times, and visitor limits.
SCCC offers weekend visits Friday through Sunday, with two blocks each day: 9:30am–1:30pm and 2:30pm–6:30pm. Plan your trip around one of these windows - those are the only times the facility accepts visitors.
Address: South Central Correctional Center (SCCC) is located at 255 West Highway 32, Licking, MO 65542.
Like to arrive early? SCCC limits how soon you can show up. You can't enter the parking lot more than 30 minutes before visiting starts. Plan your drive accordingly to avoid sitting outside the gates.
Entry is first-come, first-served. On weekends, the order you arrive matters. Build in extra time for check-in and expect a wait on busier days.
Important: No person or pet may remain in a vehicle on institutional grounds.
Each visit at SCCC (and other Missouri DOC facilities) is limited to 3 visitors per person in custody. You can bring up to 3 additional visitors age 5 and under on top of that. Count your group before you make the drive - if you're over the limit, someone won't get in.
Note: Visiting restrictions - like the number of visitors permitted at one time - may be imposed as needed due to weather, visiting-room limits, staffing, or other safety and security concerns.
Visits don't always look the same for every person in custody. The number, length, and schedule can vary based on facility capacity. Restrictions may be imposed for safety, security, staffing, or space reasons. If you've heard your loved one's situation might affect visiting, confirm what's allowed before making the trip.
Weekends sometimes come with extra limits. Missouri DOC guidance says weekends may be reserved for immediate family members only - or in some cases, one individual of the incarcerated person's choice. Don't assume a weekend visit works like a weekday. Check that your group fits both the visitor-count limit and any weekend designation.
