Crossroads Prison Overview
Crossroads Correctional Center is an adult institution operated by the Missouri Department of Corrections. The current DOC facility page lists Crossroads in Cameron with maximum and medium security levels, phone 816-632-2727, fax 816-632-2754, and Warden Chris Brewer. It is not a county jail and should not be used for a fresh DeKalb County arrest unless the person has already been sentenced or otherwise committed into Missouri DOC custody.
The prison sits in the same broad local area that DeKalb County readers associate with Cameron and nearby correctional facilities. That geography can cause lookup mistakes. Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail in Pattonsburg is the local or regional jail for DeKalb County detainees, and Sheriff Kasey Keesaman's office is the county law-enforcement contact for sheriff arrest-report questions. Crossroads Correctional Center is a state prison for sentenced male prisoners. Once a person moves from a county jail to DOC custody, the county roster may stop showing the current housing location, and the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search becomes the right locator.
The DOC facility page is the direct source for Crossroads' current state-prison identity, security level, warden, phone, and visiting windows.

Crossroads Prison Capacity
The current Missouri DOC Crossroads page does not publish a live facility population or capacity figure in the reviewed research. It does publish the prison's address, security levels, phone, fax, warden, and visiting hours. The City of Cameron's correctional-centers page gives secondary context that Crossroads is a maximum-security facility adjacent to Western Missouri Correctional Center, opened in 1997, and has capacity for 1,500 male inmates. Because the city capacity statement may be older than the DOC facility page, it should be treated as background, not as a current DOC population count.
| Measure | Source | Use on This Page |
|---|---|---|
| Security level | Missouri DOC Crossroads page | Maximum and Medium are current DOC-published facts. |
| Facility capacity | City of Cameron correctional-centers page | 1,500 male inmates is secondary local context. |
| Current population | Not published in reviewed DOC source | Do not state a live count. |
| County jail population | Not applicable | Crossroads prisoners are not counted as the DeKalb County jail roster. |
Lookup Crossroads Prison Inmates
Crossroads inmate lookup uses the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search. The DOC search covers active offenders supervised by Missouri DOC, including prison custody and some probation or parole supervision. DOC states that the search includes first and last names, including aliases, and requires captcha letters or numbers before results load. It does not provide information on discharged offenders, and some records may be unavailable for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons.
- Open the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search, not DDCRJ JailTracker.
- Enter the person's first name, last name, or known alias, then complete the captcha.
- Review the result for active DOC status and facility location.
- Confirm that Crossroads Correctional Center is the listed institution before using Crossroads visiting or mail rules.
- For status questions that the locator does not answer, contact the institutional caseworker or the appropriate Probation and Parole field office.
| DOC Search Field | Purpose | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| First Name | Finds active DOC offenders and aliases. | Common first names need a last name. |
| Last Name | Main name-search field for state prisoners. | Spellings and aliases can affect matches. |
| Captcha | Required image letters or numbers. | Search will not run until completed. |
| Active status | Shows whether the person is supervised by DOC. | Discharged offenders are excluded. |

The locator image belongs on the Crossroads page because state prison custody is searched through DOC, not the county jail roster.
Crossroads Address and Contact
Use the DOC institution contact details for prison housing, visiting, mail routing, phone-account questions, and facility-specific family information. Do not call the DeKalb County courthouse, the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, or DDCRJ for a sentenced prisoner's current prison rules unless the question concerns an older local arrest record or county booking. Crossroads is a DOC facility, so its contact path is the state institution.

The Missouri DOC institution address listing also identifies Crossroads in Cameron. The facility listing is useful when checking whether a person is in a current DOC adult institution rather than a local jail or a facility that no longer appears in the current adult-institution list.
Crossroads Prison Visits
Crossroads visiting follows Missouri DOC prison rules. Visitors should use the DOC visiting resource and visitor application process, not the DDCRJ NCIC jail video visit process. The Crossroads facility page lists visiting on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in two windows. Approval, identification, dress rules, conduct rules, and facility scheduling rules can affect whether a visit goes forward.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Friday | 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. | DOC in-person prison visit |
| Friday | 2:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. | DOC in-person prison visit |
| Saturday | 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. | DOC in-person prison visit |
| Saturday | 2:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. | DOC in-person prison visit |
| Sunday | 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. | DOC in-person prison visit |
DOC also publishes a visitor application page and a video visit resource. A prison visitor should confirm approval and scheduling before travel because the statewide family-and-friends pages set the base rules, while each facility can manage operations on the ground.
Note: A Crossroads visit is a DOC prison visit, not a DDCRJ jail video appointment.
Crossroads Mail and Money
Crossroads mail and communication rules come from Missouri DOC family-and-friends resources. DOC's mail page says nonlegal personal mail uses a Digital Mail Center. Personal mail sent to institutions after July 1, 2022 is returned. Scanned mail is made available on the offender's media player or printed for offenders without tablets. Legal mail is handled under separate DOC rules and should not be mixed with family personal mail instructions.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | Missouri DOC Digital Mail Center | Personal mail sent to institutions after July 1, 2022 is returned. |
| Electronic messages | JPay tablets with Securus email | Securus fees apply. |
| Video visits | DOC family/friends video visit resources | Availability and approval can vary by facility. |
| Phone services | DOC offender phone services page | Use DOC prison rules, not jail collect-call rules. |
| Money transfer | DOC family/friends money-transfer resources | Confirm current vendor and account requirements with DOC. |

The mail source is important because Crossroads uses statewide DOC mail handling rather than DDCRJ mail, money-order, and JailATM rules.
Crossroads Prison Intake
Crossroads does not perform street-arrest booking for DeKalb County in the way a local jail does. A person normally reaches a Missouri DOC institution after conviction, sentencing, commitment, transfer, and DOC classification. During that shift, the practical search path changes. The county jail roster may show the person before transfer, while the DOC offender locator should show active DOC supervision after transfer if the record is public and not withheld for a permitted reason.
That distinction also affects records language. A jail booking record may list arresting agency, booking date, bond, and pending charge wording. A DOC prison record concerns sentence custody, supervision status, and institution location. For court charges after an arrest, use Case.net and the DeKalb County Circuit Clerk. For family contact after state transfer, use DOC visiting, mail, video, phone, and money resources.
About Crossroads Prison
Crossroads is the state-prison facility in the DeKalb County area most likely to be confused with the county jail system. The research found no federal BOP prison, ICE detention facility, or DeKalb-only municipal jail in DeKalb County official sources. Cameron has a police department and regional dispatch center, but the official police page does not publish a public municipal jail roster. For sentenced Missouri prisoners, Crossroads and the Missouri DOC locator are the relevant prison path.
Missouri DOC describes broader prison services as treatment, education, job training, and reentry support for justice-involved Missourians. Those DOC programs apply to state prisoners, not to a new county-jail detainee waiting for first appearance or bond review. MOVANS/VINELink can also help registered users receive custody and court notifications for county jail and Missouri DOC custody.
Note: Confirm DOC location, visitor approval, and mail rules before traveling to Crossroads or sending personal mail.
