MO DOC – Crossroads Correctional Center (CRCC) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 816-632-2727

This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Crossroads Correctional Center located at 1115 E Pence Rd in Cameron, MO are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

The CRCC is a state prison overseen by Missouri Department of Corrections located in Cameron, DeKalb County, MO and has a capacity of about 1,440 maximum-security adult male inmates. The facility opened in 1997 and is immediately adjacent to the Western Missouri Correctional Center, which opened in 1988. Crossroads was the first Missouri prison to install a perimeter electric fence with a lethal charge.

Among the notable inmates of Crossroads is the kidnapper Michael J. Devlin serving 74 life sentences, and the serial killer Lorenzo Gilyard.

In January 2019, Missouri Governor Mike Parsons announced that Crossroads Correctional Center would be closing. In July 2019 many of the inmates were transferred to one side of the Western Missouri Correctional Center which is adjacent to CRCC, and others were transferred to prisons throughout the state.
