Located at 1393 Rte O in Fulton, MO, FRDC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. FRDC offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

The FRDC serves as an intake and classification facility for the Missouri Department of Corrections, accommodating around 1,300 adult male and female offenders. Upon arrival, inmates undergo a comprehensive diagnostic process lasting two weeks, involving mental health screening, medical assessment, and educational evaluation by trained professionals. Following this, classification staff assess the inmates based on various criteria to determine the most suitable placement in a facility that meets their individual needs. Additionally, FRDC houses 200 permanent cadre inmates alongside the reception and orientation (R & O) offender population.

The classification unit at FRDC plays a crucial role in ensuring inmates are appropriately classified for housing and transfer to other institutions. Staff members oversee daily operations within housing units, managing transfers, work assignments, visitation schedules, and clothing distribution. FRDC's housing units accommodate inmates across different classifications, including those in the general population, administrative segregation, protective custody, treatment programs, or with specific diagnostic needs. This structured approach ensures that inmates receive the necessary support and services tailored to their circumstances.

Inmate Locator

FRDC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.

If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.

Visitation Information

Visits are held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with 2 four hour blocks of time, 9:30 am to 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

The visiting room has a “kids corner” stocked with books, colors, coloring books, and games which allows the offenders the opportunity to spend some positive time with their children.

Visitors are allowed to bring in enough change to allow them to purchase sodas and snacks from the visiting room vending machines. Inmates may be approved for “food visits” where the family may bring food from outside vendors so that the offender can share a meal with their family.

The inmate answering has spent considerable time in the federal prison system, state and county jails, and in a prison that was run by the private prison entity CCA.
