Ozark Correctional Center Overview
Ozark Correctional Center, commonly shortened to OCC, is operated by the Missouri Department of Corrections. The facility is located at 929 Honor Camp Lane, Fordland, MO 65652, with phone (417) 767-4491. The official DOC facility information page lists Bryan Martin as warden, identifies OCC as minimum security, and gives the facility fax as (417) 767-2014. This is a state-prison facility in Webster County, not a Webster County Sheriff's Office booking site.
That distinction controls how inmate search works. A person arrested in Marshfield, Rogersville, Seymour, Niangua, Fordland, Elkland, Diggins, or elsewhere in Webster County is normally booked at Webster County Jail. OCC is for sentenced Missouri state prisoners and other state correctional placements. The county current-inmates roster should not be used to search OCC residents, and a person at OCC should not be described as a Webster County pretrial detainee just because the prison is physically inside the county.
The official Missouri DOC facility page for Ozark Correctional Center lists the prison's address, phone, warden, security level, and visiting blocks.
The facility page is the best source for current OCC contact basics because it is maintained by the state agency that operates the prison.
Ozark Correctional Center Capacity and Population
The official DOC facility and family pages reviewed for this project did not publish a current OCC capacity figure. Research therefore should not assign a bed count to Ozark Correctional Center. The confirmed operating facts are the state operator, minimum security level, Fordland address, Warden Bryan Martin, and the facility's status as a Missouri Department of Corrections adult institution.
The DOC family page gives building and campus context. OCC is a state-owned facility of about 65.4 acres in Webster County with 57 buildings, including housing units, food service and dining hall space, maintenance buildings, a training center and armory, and operational buildings. The same DOC family page says the site was constructed in January 1951 as an Air Force base, remained in that role until 1961, and reopened as a correctional center in January 1963.
How to Look Up an Offender at Ozark Correctional Center
Use Missouri DOC Offender Web Search for Ozark Correctional Center. The DOC search page says it provides information about offenders supervised by MODOC, searches active offenders including probationers and parolees, searches first and last name including aliases, and does not provide discharged-offender information. The page can also omit some offenders for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons. When researched, the page displayed offender data current as of 06/18/2026 at 09:00 PM.
- Open Missouri DOC Offender Web Search, not the Webster County current-inmates roster.
- Complete the captcha letters or numbers required by the DOC page.
- Search by first name and last name, including aliases when known.
- Review the active-offender result and confirm whether the listed location is Ozark Correctional Center.
- For questions not answered by the public result, contact the institution or the assigned caseworker through DOC channels.
The Missouri DOC Offender Web Search is the correct public locator for OCC because the facility is part of MODOC.
The county jail roster and DOC Offender Web Search can both matter in one criminal case, but they apply at different custody stages.
Ozark Correctional Center Address and Contact
Contact OCC directly for facility-level questions about visits, institutional status, mail routing, phone access, and family resources. Use the DOC locator first for public offender status, then use the facility phone when a question depends on current institutional rules or the person's caseworker. For a new Webster County arrest or local bond question, call Webster County Jail instead, because OCC staff do not operate the county roster or county booking desk.

Visiting Someone at Ozark Correctional Center
OCC visitation follows Missouri DOC prison rules, not the Friday county jail visit procedure. The official facility page and the statewide DOC visiting-hours page list Saturday and Sunday visiting blocks from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. DOC general visiting guidance says approved visiting lists can include up to 20 visitors. Facility-specific restrictions, emergency security disruptions, medical restrictions, or DOC policy changes can alter a visit schedule, so confirm the current rule before travel.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | DOC prison visit block |
| Saturday | 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | DOC prison visit block |
| Sunday | 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | DOC prison visit block |
| Sunday | 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | DOC prison visit block |
The Missouri DOC visiting-hours page lists OCC's weekend blocks and connects visitors to statewide visiting rules.
Use the statewide page for the posted schedule, then verify with OCC if weather, institutional operations, or DOC restrictions could affect a specific weekend.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Ozark Correctional Center
Money, phone, secure email, and family contact for OCC follow DOC family and friends systems rather than Webster County Jail vendors. The county jail's inmatecanteen.com deposit channel and lobby kiosk are for the local jail, not state prisoners at OCC. DOC family and friends resources include money transfer, secure email, phone services, mail guidance, visiting information, and victim or family support channels. The research identifies Chaplain Brian Barkhoff as the OCC chaplain, extension 2268, with email Brian.r.barkhoff@doc.mo.gov.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use Missouri DOC mail rules and the offender's full name and DOC identifying information. |
| Phone / Secure Email | Use DOC family and friends phone-services and secure-email resources. |
| Money Deposit | Use DOC money-transfer resources, not Webster County Jail commissary vendors. |
| Chaplain | Brian Barkhoff, extension 2268, Brian.r.barkhoff@doc.mo.gov. |
Intake and Assignment at Ozark Correctional Center
Ozark Correctional Center does not perform street-arrest booking for Webster County. Arrest booking begins at Webster County Jail when a person is arrested locally. State prison intake occurs later, after court action, sentencing, DOC commitment, classification, and transport. The Webster County Jail research specifically says the county jail houses post-conviction inmates awaiting transport to MODOC. During that waiting period the person may still be in the county jail. After DOC receives and classifies the person, DOC Offender Web Search becomes the proper lookup system.
OCC's minimum security level means it is part of the state's custody-level structure described by DOC. The Missouri DOC facilities page says the department manages 21 correctional centers, 19 for men and two for women, and assigns institutions custody level 1, 2, or 5. In that framework, level 1 is minimum, level 2 is medium, and level 5 is maximum. OCC is the Webster County state facility listed as minimum security.
OCC vs. Webster County Jail: Which Search System Applies?
Use custody stage to choose the search. A person recently arrested in Webster County, waiting for first court events, trying to post bond, or held on local pretrial charges belongs in the county jail search path. That path starts with the Webster County Current Inmates roster and the jail phone at (417) 859-2247, press 2. A person assigned to OCC is in state prison custody, and the public lookup path is Missouri DOC Offender Web Search.
| Question | Webster County Jail | Ozark Correctional Center |
|---|---|---|
| Operator | Webster County Sheriff's Office | Missouri Department of Corrections |
| Population | Adult pretrial and local post-conviction county inmates | Sentenced state prisoners under DOC supervision |
| Lookup | County current-inmates roster and jail phone | Missouri DOC Offender Web Search |
| Visit Rules | County jail Friday appointment process | DOC weekend prison visiting blocks and approved visitor list |
Federal and ICE Fallbacks Near OCC Searches
No federal BOP or ICE detention facility was located in Webster County in the reviewed official sources. Still, a person with Webster County ties might be in federal or immigration custody. Federal sentenced prisoners are searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator, which covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. Federal pretrial detainees may be handled through U.S. Marshals arrangements and may not appear in BOP until sentenced or committed. Immigration detainees should be searched through ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Those federal and immigration tools do not replace the DOC locator for OCC. They are fallback systems when the person is not in county jail and is not an active Missouri DOC offender, or when the case involves a federal warrant, supervised release issue, U.S. Marshals custody, or immigration detainer.
About Ozark Correctional Center
The DOC family page for Ozark Correctional Center gives the most detailed history and physical description located in the research. It says the state-owned property covers about 65.4 acres in Webster County and includes 57 buildings. The site began as an Air Force base in January 1951, stayed in that capacity until 1961, and reopened as a correctional center in January 1963. DOC also notes current opportunities for residents to volunteer or work within or outside the facility.
The prison's location in Webster County can confuse inmate search because local searches often begin with county terms. The correct framing is simple: OCC is physically in Webster County, but it is a state prison. Use the DOC locator for OCC residents, use the county jail roster for local pretrial detainees, use Case.net for court records, and use BOP or ICE only for the separate federal or immigration custody categories.
Note: Confirm the offender's current location and visiting status with DOC before traveling to OCC because prison schedules can change.
