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.
Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Moore County Jail for booking. This process involves identifying the individual, determining charges, and deciding if they will be released on their own recognizance, released on bail, or held in custody until their court date.
It’s important for the arrestee to stay silent, as anything they say can be used against them. The best advice is to avoid answering any questions about the arrest until legal counsel is present.
The booking process at Moore County Jail typically includes the following steps:
For questions about paying an arrestee’s bond or bail amount, contact the facility at 806-935-4145.
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Moore County Jail in Dumas for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:
1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond. Call 806-935-4145 for the exact bail amount.

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