Escambia County Jail, FL

Escambia County Jail handles visitation through remote video visits. You can schedule online through the Escambia County Corrections site or at the Public Bond Lobby kiosk (3080 N. Pace Blvd). Before booking, you'll need to register in the visitation software—either at the lobby kiosk or on myescambia.com. Book at least 24 hours ahead, up to seven days in advance. Cancel with less than 24 hours' notice? That counts as a used visit. Each video session allows two visitors per inmate (children under one year don't count toward the limit), and you'll need a legible, valid photo ID. In-person visits inside the secure facility are rare—reserved for special or official circumstances and require approval. Direct physical contact also needs prior authorization. The facility may cancel visits for operational reasons, and rule violations can lead to suspended privileges.

Inmates at Escambia County Jail can make anonymous PREA reports by calling Lakeview Center Victim Services at *7732 from the inmate phone system. Those with immigration holds can also report sexual assault or abuse through the non-recorded, toll-free ICE Community and Detainee Helpline at 1-888-351-4024. Beyond reporting lines, many Florida jails offer phone calls, email/messaging, and remote video visits for staying in touch with family—though the exact services and rules vary by facility. Phone and video typically run through third-party vendors, which may involve scheduling, fees, prepaid accounts, or message credits. Electronic messages are usually screened by staff before delivery.

Escambia County Jail maintains a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse and harassment. Reports are taken seriously—alleged incidents get promptly reported and investigated with victim safety as the priority. If an assault is recent, both the victim and alleged aggressor may be told not to wash, change clothes, or do anything that could destroy evidence until staff clear them. Victims receive medical care and, with permission, may be transported to a hospital for a sexual assault exam, testing, counseling, and treatment. Follow-up care happens at the facility. Information about a victim's identity and report details stays restricted to staff with a need to know.
