Timeline:
The Intermediate Reformatory is repurposed as Algoa Correctional Center c1982
Algoa Correctional Center’s mission changes c1983
Otherwise Known As:
ACC | A.C.C.
Corrections was reorganized in September 1981, and the new Department of Corrections and
Human Resources was created. The first crisis addressed by the new Department was prison
overcrowding. In response, several new facilities were built or existing ones remodeled. Algoa
Intermediate Reformatory became the medium security Algoa Correctional Center (ACC).
ACC’s new inmate population would consist of male offenders of all ages with one to four years
left to serve on their sentences. Vocational training became a central mission at ACC.
In 1988, the farmland that used to be Prison Farm No. 3 on the west side of Algoa’s large
property was turned over to the Missouri National Guard. Today, the Guard’s headquarters is
located there.
This series consists of photographs of Algoa Correctional Center.

Contract labor at the Penitentiary was abolished between 1917 and 1919. In its place, prison
industries such as farms allowed for state-run, non-contract labor. Inmates were put to work as
farmers and the goods produced were used to feed inmates and were also sold to the public for a
profit. Three farms were bought by the State Prison Board around 1919. The 458-acre property
that would become Prison Farm No. 3 at Algoa was bought from W.A. Dallmeyer. The primary
industry at Farm No. 3 was dairy.
Corrections staff and Missourians advocated for an intermediate institution that would house
young men aged 17 to 25. These first-time offenders were too old for the Boonville Reformatory
for Boys and often too young and “soft” for the Missouri State Penitentiary. Carol Bates from St.
Louis was one of the more influential advocates. She served on the Missouri Welfare League.
The Missouri General Assembly approved the creation of such a reformatory in 1915, but it
would be 15 years before money was appropriated and the site built. Another farm adjacent to
Prison Farm No. 3 was purchased from a man named Ewing. This 319-acre farm brought the
total acreage to 777. Inmates began being received in March 1932. They lived in dormitories and
continued to work the dairy farm. Over the next several decades, the site would expand even
more. The largest expansion was in the late 1930s when the WPA built several more dorms and
other buildings at Algoa.
Corrections was reorganized in September 1981, and the new Department of Corrections and
Human Resources was created. The first crisis addressed by the new Department was prison
overcrowding. In response, several new facilities were built or existing ones remodeled. Algoa
Intermediate Reformatory became the medium security Algoa Correctional Center (ACC).

Otherwise Known As:
State Training School for Boys | State Industrial School for Boys | State Reform School for Boys
From 1885-1887, prominent citizens of St. Joseph, Buchanan County lobbied the Missouri
General Assembly for the creation of a boys’ reform school in their city. On March 30, 1887, the
General Assembly did approve the creation of a training school for boys. However, two months
later, a site in Boonville, Cooper County was selected instead of St. Joseph. The State Training
School for Boys was opened two years later with Lymon D. Drake serving as the first
Superintendent. There were 137 boys admitted to the facility in its first two years. When the
facility first opened, the boys were required to work in the gardens, the farm, laundry, kitchen,
tailor shop, or brickyard. School was in session for only six months out of the year. Boys came
from all over Missouri as well as other states and stayed anywhere from a few months to several
years. The ages of the boys ranged from eight to 20, although most were between 14 and 17.
The School was plagued with problems and ultimately closed in 1981-1983 in favor of local
juvenile detention facilities and the foster care system. After the School closed, the adult
Boonville Correctional Center opened on the same site (see previous series).
This series consists of photographs of the farm, buildings, boys and staff.

dozens of cows in February 1985. A majority of the images in this series concern the
investigation into the cows’ deaths. The facility closed in early 2005 because of budget
constraints. Inmates and staff were transferred to other facilities.

Timeline:
The Training Academy is established 1973
Prior to 1974, there was no cohesive, central training for guards and other Corrections employees
in Missouri. The Department received a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Council to
establish an academy for this purpose. It was opened on the grounds of the former Women’s
Prison, aka Female Department No. 1. The facility was renovated and expanded in 1984. In the
late 1990s, it moved to its current location at 1717 Industrial Drive.
“This unit develops, coordinates and delivers training to all department employees. This unit,
known as the Central Training Academy, is comprised of eight training officers and one
associate psychologist and is augmented by approximately 60 personnel selected from
throughout the department to assist in carrying out the Academy’s training curriculum.” (1987-
1988 Blue Book p. 339)

Otherwise Known As:

Home for Girls
In 1887, members of Women’s Christian Temperance Union began a petition that would be sent
to the Missouri General Assembly. They and others were advocating for a state industrial home
for girls between the ages of 7 and 17. The General Assembly quickly passed an act to establish
a state industrial school for girls.
The Chillicothe Industrial School for Girls was opened in early 1889. An 1891 law clarified who
was to be sent to the School: “Every girl over the age of seven years and under the age of
seventeen years, who shall be convicted of being a vagrant, or of any offense not punishable with
death or imprisonment for life, may, except in cases deemed incorrigible, be sentenced to said
Industrial home until she shall reach the age of twenty-one years…Any female child may be
bound as apprentice to said Industrial home for girls as to any other master, and subject to the
same provisions of law as are now or may hereafter be in force.” (1891 Laws of Missouri p. 164)
In its first two years of operation, only 11 girls were sent to the Home.
Activities the girls were required to perform were gardening, baking, laundry, tending dairy
cows, sewing, working in the beauty shop, and attending etiquette classes. Each girl was
assigned to a cottage where she would become part of that cottage’s “family” and would be
under the supervision of the cottage mother.
Unlike the boys’ school in Boonville, Chillicothe did not accept African-American inmates. A
separate facility for African-American girls was established in Tipton in 1916.
The School closed in 1980 in favor of local juvenile detention facilities and the foster care
system. Chillicothe Correctional Center opened on the former Girls’ grounds in 1981 as an adult
female correctional facility (see previous series).

Church Prison Farm is an institution located approximately eight miles west of Jefferson City. It
got its name from the landowner from whom it was leased, then purchased: Horace B. Church,
Jr. E.L. Sheley served as the farm’s first Superintendent. The early years were plagued by
escapes, likely due to the fact that there was only one guard on staff at any given time. Inmates
primarily raised crops, but also raised mules, dairy cattle and turkeys.
From 1979 to 1980, Church Prison Farm was converted from a minimum-security facility to a
medium security site and re-named Central Missouri Correctional Center.
This series consists of photographs of the grounds, buildings and operations of the prison.

Women’s Prison | Female Department Farm No. 1 | Minor Hill | Minor’s Hill
Up until January 1926, female prisoners of the state were kept in the administration building of
the Missouri State Penitentiary under less than desirable conditions. Notable federal inmates
stayed in that building as well, including Emma Goldman and Kate Richards O’Hare. O’Hare
and Goldman advocated for better conditions during their time there, and their appeals were
heard nationwide.
On January 4, 1926, 60 female prisoners were moved from the Missouri State Penitentiary to a
renovated mansion formerly owned by Gen. James Minor on a site called Minor’s Hill. This
would serve as the women’s prison for the next few years. The site was officially called Female
Department Farm No. 1, and consisted of 38 acres. The women raised cattle, pigs, and chickens
and farmed vegetables.
Fairly quickly, the mansion became unsuitable for the women, and in early 1936 the St. Louis
architectural firm of Klipstein and Rathmann designed a new three-story brick prison building.
The building was completed in 1937, but not occupied until late 1938 because of utility issues.
The brick women’s prison was abandoned in February 1960 in favor of the large prison complex
in Tipton, Missouri. A few years later – in late 1964 – the building was ready to receive male
inmates who were about to be released on parole, thus serving as a sort-of halfway house. It also
served as surplus storage for the Department of Education, and these soon-to-be parolees helped
with surplus inventories. This lasted roughly ten years and by 1973, the brick structure was
repurposed again. This time it would serve as a training site for new Corrections officers.
The building was demolished between January 22 and March 14, 2003 by Schneiders
Construction Co., Inc. After the site was cleared, the new eco-friendly “Green Building” was
built for the Department of Natural Resources.

Similar to Camp Hawthorne, Fordland Honor Camp was operated as a live-in work release site
for well-behaved prisoners. Originally, the site housed an Air Force radar station, and the State
of Missouri bought the land from the Federal Government in October 1961. The facility was re-
branded and renovated in 1980 as the Ozarks Correctional Center. This series consists of
photographs of the Fordland grounds, inmates and operations of the site.

Corrections instituted a new classification system for inmates that went into effect on February 1,
1983. Because of the new system and general prison overcrowding in Missouri, the Department
of Corrections (DOC) began construction on a new facility in Fulton. The FRDC has a dual
purpose: 1) to evaluate, classify and assign facilities to incoming DOC inmates, 2) to house
some maximum-security inmates.
This series consists of photographs of the grounds at FRDC.

In 1978, the Legislature appropriated $1.8 million for the creation of two honor centers in
Missouri that would be located in Kansas City and St. Louis. Kansas City’s facility would be
located in the former Ka-Cee Hotel at 919 Oak Street downtown. It would have the capacity for
100 inmates. The Honor Center is a work-release site where inmates live and are able to travel
freely to jobs in the city. It is a rehabilitation program aimed at reintegrating soon-to-be released
prisoners into society.
The Honor Center, now called the Kansas City Community Release Center, closed in 1998. By
this time it had expanded to nearly 300 beds, was overcrowded and rundown. Voters passed a
$250 million bond issue on August 2, 1994 that would fund capital improvements for colleges
and universities as well as prisons. The new Honor Center site in Kansas City was funded by
sales of these bonds. The new site opened at 651 Mulberry Street in December 1998.
This series consists of photographs of the Oak Street grounds and staff.

Built in 1836, the Missouri State Penitentiary was the oldest continually operating prison west of
the Mississippi River until it closed in 2004. It has a reputation as a place of ill repute based on
poor conditions for the prisoners and violence inside its walls. At its peak, it housed over 4,000
inmates at a time. Because of overcrowding and poor conditions, numerous other correctional
facilities would be built in Missouri over time in an effort to alleviate pressure on the MSP.
Ultimately, it was closed in 2004. The grounds (now much reduced) are owned by the City of
Jefferson and currently serve as a popular tourist attraction.
This series consists of photographs of the grounds, inmates, staff and operations of the prison.
Some of these images have been digitized and are on DVD in Reference.

Some inmates from the Missouri State Penitentiary could go on work release to mine coal in
Montserrat in the 1870s. The mine was operated by J.B. Price & Co. and the inmate labor was
contracted out. On November 10, 1877, the stockades at Montserrat caught fire during an inmate
revolt. Eight inmates were killed and twenty-three others injured by the fire, by jumping out of
the building, or by being shot by guards.
This series contains pictures taken roughly 100 years after the coal mine ceased operation. They
show ground reverted to nature and a pond where the mine was.

Potosi Correctional Center opened in 1989 as a maximum-security facility for male inmates. It
also houses death row inmates, aka capital punishment inmates. Prior to Potosi’s opening,
inmates sentenced to death were housed at Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City. The
method of execution at MSP was by gas chamber. In 1989, the method of execution was changed
to lethal injection. The first death by lethal injection was actually conducted at MSP on George
“Tiny” Mercer just prior to Potosi’s opening. The first execution at Potosi occurred one year later
in 1990. PCC continued to operate as Missouri’s execution site until April 2005 when it was
moved to the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre. Capital
punishment inmates remain at Potosi until their scheduled execution.

RCC | R.C.C.
Renz Correctional Center was an institution located north of Jefferson City in Callaway County
on the grounds of the former Renz Prison Farm. Located adjacent to the Missouri River, the
facility suffered extensive damage during the floods of 1986 and 1993, after which it was closed
down.
Beginning in 1975, RCC began accepting female inmates. As a result, it became the only mixed
gender correctional facility in Missouri since women were first separated from the Penitentiary
in 1926. It operated as a minimum-security site for men and a medium- and maximum-security
site for women. After Chillicothe Correctional Center opened in 1981, the medium-security
women were moved to that site, leaving just the maximum-security females at Renz. Men could
still work on the farm. Women were trained in the facility’s beauty school and educated in
classrooms.
RCC was plagued by floods. The Missouri River crested on October 5, 1986 at 32.6 feet. A few
years later, it would crest on July 30, 1993 at 38.65 feet, the highest in recorded history. Damage
was irreparable in 1993 and the facility abandoned. Currently, the abandoned administration
building still stands on the grounds under private control. It flooded again in 2019.
This series consists of photographs of the grounds, inmates, staff and operations of the prison. It
includes hundreds of images of the 1986 and 1993 floods.

State Industrial Home for Negro Girls | State Training School for Negro Girls
Prior to 1916, there was no place in Missouri to send African-American girls who were neglected
or in trouble with the law. Young African-American boys had been going to the Boonville
Training School for Boys, but the Chillicothe Training School for Girls refused to take African-
Americans. Thus, the 46th General Assembly authorized the creation of an “industrial home for
Negro girls” on June 14, 1909.
The state paid $4,500 for a 52-acre site in Tipton for “every negro girl over the age of seven
years, and under the age of eighteen years, who shall be convicted of being a vagrant or of any
offense not punishable with death or imprisonment for life, or whose associations are immoral or
criminal, or bad and vicious, or who is incorrigible to such an extent that she cannot be
controlled by her parents or guardians in whose custody she may be.” (1917 Laws of Missouri p.
150) The Home was under the initial control of the State Eleemosynary Board and opened its
doors in 1916. Just one year later, control of the Home was transferred to the Missouri State
Prison Board.
The Home was closed in 1956. From that point on, African-American girls were integrated with
white inmates in Chillicothe. The buildings in Tipton were then assigned to become a women’s
correctional facility.

After the female inmate population became too large for Tipton to accommodate, the women
were moved to Renz Correctional Center just north of Jefferson City. The facility at Tipton was
repurposed as a pre-release center for up to 100 male offenders with sentences ranging from two
to ten years. The facility’s mission is “to provide resocialization and job preparatory skills for
inmates leaving the Missouri Division of Corrections. The institution is a minimum security and
provides a vocational program in building maintenance, an education program, recreational
program and religious services. The institution also provides inmate workers for the State Fair
Grounds in Sedalia throughout the Spring and Summer months. The major emphasis of the
institution is to examine work habits and to assist inmates in reorientating [sic] themselves to
meet the demands of the work world.” (1977-1978 Blue Book p. 1017)
This iteration of the Tipton facility lasted for about twenty years. In July 1996, it was repurposed
again as the Tipton Correctional Center, a medium-security facility for up to 800 male inmates.

“The Western Reception Diagnostic and Correctional Center located in St. Joseph serves two
distinctive populations. A 554 bed unit is designated as high custody to accommodate the
regional diagnostic center for offenders. The diagnostic center is responsible for receiving male
offenders from counties located in the western region of the state and providing diagnostic
