Moberly Correctional Center
The facility opened in January 1963, built from a design by St. Louis architect Marcel Boulicault.
In July 1983 a correctional officer named Thomas Jackson was stabbed to death as he attempted to remove several inmates intoxicated on homemade wine. One of his three attackers, Roy Michael Roberts, was executed by the state in 1999. Another, Robert Driscoll, was also sentenced to die at one point, but after appeals that reached United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit had his sentence reduced and was released in March 2004.
In May 2013 former Moberly inmate Anthony Johnson was indicted on federal identity theft charges for stealing $80,000 through telephone fraud from within the prison, then depositing the proceeds into inmates' prison accounts.
