Be Our Guest

Work-release participants serve guests at the Governor's Mansion. The menu consists of a mixed greens salad with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, mozzarella and house-made buttermilk dressing; pan-seared garlic chicken with a white wine cream sauce; creamy mashed potatoes; and green beans almondine. Dessert is birthday cake and Central Dairy vanilla ice cream.

An artfully choreographed performance unfolds behind the scenes at the Missouri Governor’s Mansion, where a dozen residents from Algoa Correctional Center (ACC) are bused daily to maintain grounds, prepare food and serve guests at the historic property.

Improving Lives for Safer Communities

In the Missouri Department of Corrections, we foster public safety, health and wellness. We support victims and give back to people in need. We facilitate treatment, education and job training to equip justice-involved Missourians with the skills they need to contribute to the state’s communities, inside and outside our walls. About 96 percent of people who enter prison return to Missouri cities and towns. We want to make sure they're good neighbors.
