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

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. For more information call the Santa Rosa County
Jail at (850) 983-1171.
