In 2018, the Moore County Jail implemented several solutions to address overcrowding. One of these solutions was the use of a Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (CRAM) device. This device continuously monitors the blood alcohol level of individuals 24/7. If there is any doubt about their alcohol level, they are brought back to court and potentially sent back to jail.

To ensure compliance with the program, the CRAM device is securely attached to the ankle of the person. If they attempt to remove the device, it triggers an alarm that alerts the authorities.

In addition to the CRAM device, the county has also implemented a work release program for non-violent misdemeanor offenders. These offenders are assigned various jobs four days a week, totaling up to 32 hours. Their tasks include helping to maintain cleanliness in the county, such as cleaning the courthouse, the police department, and assisting with odd jobs. They also provide support at the animal control facility by tidying up the kennels.

The number of individuals housed at the Moore County Jail varies due to the involvement of five different law enforcement agencies in making arrests and booking people there. The maximum capacity of the jail is 62, and during certain weeks, inmates may need to be transferred to other facilities in Dalhart and Childress to alleviate overcrowding.

For individuals who fail to complete the work release program, a warrant is issued for their arrest, and they are required to serve the remaining time in jail.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Moore County Jail?

There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Moore County Jail uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.

**Call 806-935-4145 first to ask Moore County Jail if this option is still available.
