Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center (FRDC) is a state-run facility located in Fulton, Missouri. It serves as an intake and assessment center for male offenders entering the Missouri Department of Corrections system. The primary function of FRDC is to provide a thorough evaluation of incoming inmates, which includes medical and psychological assessments, educational testing, and classification according to security needs. This process helps determine the most suitable correctional facility for the inmates’ long-term residence. The center also offers some basic initial programs aimed at addressing immediate needs, such as orientation and institutional adjustment courses. As a part of the correctional system, FRDC plays a critical role in the transition of offenders into the state’s network of prisons and rehabilitation programs.
