Farmington Correctional Center Inmate Search

Farmington Correctional Center Inmate Overview

Farmington Correctional Center is a Missouri Department of Corrections facility at 1012 West Columbia Street, Farmington, MO 63640. Missouri DOC lists the prison as minimum and medium security. Warden Teri Vandergriff is listed on the DOC facility page, along with phone 573-218-7100 and fax 573-218-7110. The facility is a state prison, not a county jail, and it should not be used for a fresh local arrest unless the person has entered DOC custody or DOC supervision.

Farmington Correctional Center is part of the St. Francois County correctional footprint because it sits in Farmington, but the search system is statewide. The county jail's MobilePatrol path is for local inmates and bookings. The Missouri DOC Offender Web Search is for active offenders, including people in custody, probationers, and parolees, unless a record is excluded for safety, security, or confidentiality. Discharged offenders are not included in the DOC tool.

The prison also has a treatment role. Missouri DOC material identifies Farmington as a location for institutional treatment programs and the Farmington Treatment Center. The DOC treatment page lists a 20-bed Correctional Treatment Center for people needing a more protected environment. The Farmington Treatment Center page lists 324 beds for male offenders in short-term, intermediate, and long-term court program types tied to Missouri statutes.

Farmington Correctional Center Inmate Population

The 2023 PREA final audit supplies the most detailed Farmington Correctional Center population numbers found in the research. It gives a designed facility capacity of 2,532, a current population of 2,451 at the time of the audit, and an average daily population of 2,210 for the prior 12 months. The same audit lists 12 housing units, a male population age range from 17 to 87, 660 staff with inmate contact, 111 contractors with inmate contact, and 94 volunteers authorized for inmate contact.

Those numbers describe the prison at the audit point, not a live head count. A current custody check should use the DOC locator and, for case-specific questions, the institutional caseworker or the relevant Probation and Parole field officer. For St. Francois County jail population questions, use the local jail page and MobilePatrol instead.

The manifest image from the Missouri DOC Farmington Correctional Center page shows the facility's official contact block, warden listing, security level, and visiting information.

The screenshot is matched to the state prison page because it documents DOC's own Farmington Correctional Center listing, not a county roster record.

Farmington Correctional Center Inmate Lookup

Use the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search to look up an inmate at Farmington Correctional Center. The DOC search page states that its data covers active offenders, including probationers and parolees, and that it searches first and last names including aliases. It also uses a captcha. The page notes that discharged offenders are not provided and some offender information may be unavailable for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons.

1. Open Missouri DOC Offender Web Search and enter the required captcha.
2. Search by first name, last name, and known aliases or spelling variants.
3. Review the result for current institution, custody or supervision status, and identifiers.
4. Confirm that the record shows Farmington Correctional Center before relying on facility-specific visiting or mail information.

The DOC locator is the right system for sentenced state custody. It is not the same as the St. Francois County Jail booking app. If a person was arrested recently in Farmington, Bonne Terre, Park Hills, Desloge, or another local area and has not been sentenced or transferred, check the county jail's MobilePatrol path or St. Francois County inmate records first. If the person is in federal custody, use the BOP locator. If immigration detention is possible, use ICE ODLS.

Farmington Correctional Center Contact

Facility contact should be used for prison-specific questions, visiting questions, and mail routing. Court case copies and county arrest records do not come from Farmington Correctional Center. Those records come from Missouri Case.net, the Circuit Clerk, the Sheriff's Office, or another originating agency depending on the record.

Farmington Correctional Center Visiting Hours

Missouri DOC publishes weekend visiting blocks for Farmington Correctional Center. Visitors should confirm approval, identification rules, dress rules, and any schedule limits with DOC before traveling. State prison visiting is different from county jail visiting because approval, offender status, treatment assignment, and DOC rules can affect whether a visit is allowed.

Note: Confirm the visitor approval process and any treatment-offender limit with DOC before planning a Farmington Correctional Center visit.

Farmington Correctional Center Inmate Mail

The research record confirms the facility address and DOC phone-services context, but it does not provide a facility-specific commissary fee schedule or a verified deposit-fee table. For that reason, the page should not name a money vendor or quote fees. Missouri DOC phone service material states that offenders cannot receive telephone calls but may make outgoing calls unless restricted. It also states that calls can use collect, debit, or prepaid calling through an established vendor and that offender tablets may include phone applications.

For a local arrestee still in St. Francois County Jail, use the jail's postcard and check rules instead. State prison mail and local jail mail are separate systems.

Farmington Correctional Center Custody Intake

Farmington Correctional Center does not perform street-arrest booking for St. Francois County. Intake at this facility follows DOC authority, sentencing, transfer, treatment placement, supervision decisions, or other state custody movement. That distinction helps avoid a common search mistake: a new booking is usually local jail custody, while a prison record is a DOC record. If a court case results in prison commitment or treatment placement, the person may later appear in the Missouri DOC locator rather than MobilePatrol.

Farmington's treatment role adds another layer. The Farmington Treatment Center page lists 324 beds for male offenders in short-term, intermediate, and long-term court program types, and the DOC therapy/treatment page identifies Farmington's 20-bed Correctional Treatment Center. Those programs are state corrections programs, not county jail housing units. For charge status, bond orders, or docket entries that preceded a prison placement, use Case.net or the St. Francois County Circuit Clerk.

About Farmington Correctional Center

Farmington Correctional Center gives St. Francois County a large state-prison presence in addition to the 188-bed county jail. Searches for the St. Francois County inmate population can therefore mean two different things. If the person is a local arrestee or pretrial detainee, use MobilePatrol and the county jail phone. If the person is a sentenced state prisoner, probationer, parolee, or DOC treatment participant, use Missouri DOC Offender Web Search.

Public-record limits also differ by system. County arrest reports are governed by Missouri Sunshine Law, including RSMo 610.100 and RSMo 610.023. DOC offender locator records have their own scope and exclusions. The DOC page itself states that some records may be unavailable for safety, security, or confidentiality and that discharged offenders are not provided. Those limits are not signs that a person was never held at Farmington Correctional Center.
