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.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Moore County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 806-935-4145.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
Moore County Jail Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Moore County for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Moore County and other Texas and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Moore County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
Call 806-935-4145 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Moore County inmate locator.

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.
Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
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.
