Michael W. Moore

Michael W. Moore (born 30 August 1948, Houston, Texas)[1] is the former Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections.[2]

Moore earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology and Corrections from Sam Houston State University in 1976.[3] He worked for more than two decades in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice where he rose from a correctional officer in 1967 to regional director in 1985. During his Texas tenure, Moore also served as a personnel and training lieutenant, industrial supervisor, lieutenant, captain, and major of correctional officers, as well as warden of a maximum-security prison. He served as regional director for ten years from 1985 before he joined the South Carolina system.[3]

Moore was director of the South Carolina Department of Corrections from 1995 to 1999. He imposed policies including a strict grooming policy that lead to a prison uprising and an unsuccessful lawsuit against him.[4][5] On 5 January 1999 he was appointed Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections by Florida governor Jeb Bush.[3][6] In 2003, James V. Crosby, Jr. took over.
