Santa Rosa County Jail
The Santa Rosa County Jail is also known as the Santa Rosa County Department of Corrections. This facility has more online information than most other Florida jails in the First Judicial Circuit. Their handbook is even available as a PDF file, so this can be very helpful for families wanting information about loved ones.
The jail is used for several purposes:
The Santa Rosa County Jail will hold inmates who have been unable to make bond in Santa Rosa County felony and misdemeanor cases.
The Santa Rosa County Jail is used to incarcerate inmates sentenced in misdemeanor cases for up to one year.
The Santa Rosa County Jail is used to incarcerate inmates sentenced in felony cases before inmates are transported to state prison facilities.
The Santa Rosa County Jail is used to hold inmates awaiting transfer to Immigration and Naturalization facilities, federal facilities, inpatient mental health facilities and for other purposes.
Like all jails, this facility has specific policies concerning visitation, phone calls, and other matters relating to defendants and inmates being held there. For visitation, click here.
Note: This facility was extensively rebuilt after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. For the Inmate Handbook (available as a PDF file, and rather well written), click here. NOTE: If you are visiting a loved or a friend, bring a quarter - they use lockers for ALL metal items by visitors, even car keys.
