| I'm helping my mom create a MOC for the prison she works in. We have a good
supply of minifigs of yellow/white skin color, but not very many of darker skin
colors.
When I look at bricklink stores I can sort of find heads that suit the purpose,
but what about hands?
Should I be looking for complete minifigs? Or can is it best to find some shop
that has many heads and "torso assemblies" to get the hands I need?
This is my first time dipping into the secondary market of minifigs, so I feel
like I'm in way over my head even for a relatively simple task.

Welcome to bricklink!
The best way may to be to do some searches like “medium nougat head”, “reddish
brown head”, etc and look thru the options looking at ones that look right to
you and are in your budget then adding them to a wanted list, then for the hands
go to the hand page and choose the colours you want and qty and add them to the
same wanted list. Then navigate to your wanted list and choose buy all and look
thru the options of who has the most for sale that you want

Start with looking at the minifigs from this set to establish some of the available
skin tone colours to search for:-
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=40634-1&viewItemType=M
It contains quite a few different skin tone heads with matching hands. If you
look at the part breakdown of the minifigs you will find the torsos are quite
reasonably priced even if only buying for the hands themselves but once you've
established the colour hands you need to match your heads you can also buy them
separately:-
