Understanding Moore Unit's 10-Person Visitor List (And When You Can Change It)
Planning visits to Moore Unit gets much simpler once you know the key rule: your loved one can only have a limited number of people on their approved Visitors List, and changes happen on a fixed schedule.
Each inmate at Moore Unit can have up to 10 names on their Visitors List. This is the official roster of approved visitors, and staff use it to decide who gets in during visiting hours. If your name isn't on the list, you won't be allowed to visit until it's added.
Remember: The list caps at 10 people. If you have a large family, choosing those spots takes some coordination.
How often the list can change depends on the inmate's classification. Institutional inmates can request changes once every six months, so those choices stick for a while. State jail, intermediate sanction facility (ISF), and substance abuse felony punishment (SAFP) inmates can request changes once every 60 days. That's more flexibility, but it still requires planning ahead.
Change windows (quick reference): Institutional inmates: once every six months. State jail, ISF, and SAFP inmates: once every 60 days.
With only 10 spots and limited change windows (six months for institutional inmates, 60 days for state jail, ISF, and SAFP), treat the list like a rotation plan. Talk with your loved one about who genuinely needs to visit during the next window, not just who might want to visit someday. Prioritize people who can actually make the trip, who provide steady support, or who have narrow availability (like someone traveling from out of state).
- ✓ Confirm the inmate is assigned to the Moore Unit before you travel.
- ✓ Confirm the inmate currently has visitation privileges.
- ✓ Check visitation information right before you leave, since it is updated once daily on weekdays and multiple times per day on visitation days.
- ✓ Call the unit for final confirmation before traveling.
Travel tip: Before making a long drive, confirm your loved one is still assigned to the unit and has visitation privileges. This information can change, and updates often happen on visitation days.
