Located at 609 E Pence Rd in Cameron, MO, WMCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. WMCC 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 WMCC is a state prison located in DeKalb County and operates under the jurisdiction of the Missouri Department of Corrections primarily houses medium-security male inmates. WMCC can accommodate up to 1,925 prisoners, providing a structured environment for rehabilitation and incarceration.

Established in 1988, WMCC has been serving as a crucial component of Missouri's corrections system for several decades. Situated adjacent to the Crossroads Correctional Center (CRCC), which is a maximum-security facility, WMCC plays a significant role in managing the state's inmate population. CRCC, inaugurated in 1997, was subsequently closed in July 2019. Following its closure, one side of WMCC underwent conversion into a maximum-security prison to accommodate many of the inmates previously housed at CRCC.

As a medium-security facility, WMCC implements rigorous security measures to ensure the safety and supervision of its inmates while providing opportunities for rehabilitation and personal growth. Inmates at WMCC are subject to structured daily routines, including educational programs, vocational training, counseling services, and work assignments. These activities aim to address various needs and challenges faced by incarcerated individuals, promoting their successful reintegration into society upon release.

The transition of one side of WMCC into a maximum-security prison reflects the dynamic nature of corrections management and the state's commitment to optimizing its facilities' efficiency and effectiveness. By repurposing existing infrastructure to meet changing demands and operational requirements, Missouri's Department of Corrections demonstrates its adaptability and dedication to enhancing public safety and inmate rehabilitation.

In summary, the Western Missouri Correctional serves as a vital institution within the Missouri Department of Corrections, providing housing and rehabilitation services for medium-security male inmates. WMCC plays a crucial role in managing the state's inmate population and ensuring the safe and secure confinement of individuals. Through its comprehensive programming and facility management strategies, WMCC remains committed to promoting inmate accountability, rehabilitation, and successful reintegration into society.
