Located at 1216 E Morgan St in Boonville, MO, BCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. BCC 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 BCC is a minimum-security state penitentiary accommodating around 1,300 male inmates. Originally established in 1889 as the Missouri Training School for Boys, BCC transitioned to Department of Corrections management on July 1, 1983, maintaining its operational status since then. Recognized for its historical significance, the property, known as Historic District H, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Among its notable structures are the Food Commissary and Supply Commissary, along with the old Administration Building, bearing a dedication from its construction under Governor John S. Marmaduke, a historical figure linked to the First Battle of Boonville in 1861.

BCC offers various programs aimed at offender rehabilitation and education. Academic education is mandatory for inmates lacking high school diplomas or equivalency certificates upon incarceration, with tailored educational services provided for those under 22 with learning disabilities. Higher education opportunities are facilitated through partnerships with colleges and universities, enabling offenders to pursue college courses and earn credits toward degrees. Additionally, vocational training programs such as Basic Welding, Electric Wiring Technology, and Heavy Equipment Operator courses are available to equip inmates with valuable skills for future employment.

One unique program at BCC is Puppies for Parole, operating in collaboration with animal shelters and advocate groups statewide. In this initiative, selected offenders act as trainers for rescue dogs, teaching them basic obedience skills and socializing them to enhance their adoptability. Upon completing the program, these dogs are made available for adoption through their original shelters, contributing to their successful rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Furthermore, BCC emphasizes restorative justice principles through the Missouri Reentry Process, aimed at facilitating the successful transition of offenders back into the community. This comprehensive approach encompasses various support services, including employment assistance, housing resources, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services, with the overarching goal of reducing recidivism and promoting positive behavioral change among offenders.

Through these multifaceted programs and initiatives, BCC endeavors to foster rehabilitation, education, and reintegration opportunities for its inmate population, ultimately contributing to safer communities and a more successful transition for individuals returning to society post-incarceration.
