Algoa Correctional Center (ACC) is a minimum security prison in Jefferson City, Missouri operated by the Missouri Department of Corrections. It houses approximately 1600 inmates, with a staff of approximately 470. It is located at 8501 No More Victims Road, Jefferson City, MO 65101.[1]
Algoa Correctional Center is the only male institution in the state of Missouri that offers the IFI Program. The IFI program is also in the Women's Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center.
On May 12, 2025, a class action lawsuit was filed on the basis of cruel and unusual punishment due to the dangerously high temperatures in Algoa's housing units, especially for solitary confinement chambers.[2] Air conditioning at the facility is limited to staff-only areas.[3]
