St. Lucie County Jail

Visiting at St. Lucie County Jail starts with a one-time registration on gettingout.com, where you'll upload a photo of your driver's license. A lobby kiosk is also available if you prefer to sign up onsite. Schedule visits before 11:00 p.m. to secure next-day availability. Video visits must be booked at least 1 day and no more than 14 days in advance, run up to one hour, and each inmate gets two one-hour video visits per week. Visit times come in 15-minute blocks organized into 1-hour sessions. Availability depends on housing, classification, and station capacity—some areas run first-come, first-serve, and emergencies can postpone visits. Bring valid photo ID, arrive 15 minutes early, follow the dress code, and leave cell phones and electronics out of the video visitation area.

St. Lucie County Jail provides inmate tablets with secure apps for entertainment and messaging. Messages sent through the tablet system cost .25¢ each. Fund tablet accounts through gettingout.com—the jail lists Viapath as the customer-care contact for account and funding questions. The facility's Rules & Regulations pages also point to Viapath for scheduling and audio/video visitation or tablet issues, so check those contacts before reaching out for support. Other communication options like phone, video, and electronic messaging vary by Florida facility, including payment methods and moderation rules.

As of December 1, 2023, St. Lucie County Jail requires personal letters, pictures, and drawings to be mailed to the jail's designated Phoenix, MD P.O. address for offsite scanning and electronic delivery to inmates. The jail plans to roll out digital mail to inmate tablets soon. Until tablet access is available, send mail using the jail's standard guidelines. Privileged outgoing correspondence—like letters to attorneys, courts, and public officials—is opened and copied by a deputy in the inmate's presence, then the original is shredded. The jail won't accept unauthorized items through the mail, including books, excess clothing, and hygiene products. Inmates can request religious materials through chaplain services or buy approved publications via commissary. Property pick-up requires a property release slip and photo ID, Monday–Friday during designated hours.

To add money for someone at St. Lucie County Jail, use TouchPay. All funds go into the inmate's individual account for commissary purchases and any incurred expenses. You can deposit using Visa, Mastercard, a debit card, an electronic check, or cash at the lobby kiosk (available 24/7). Follow the vendor prompts to select the state and facility, then enter the inmate's details exactly as requested. You'll need Facility Locator Number 234901, plus the inmate's ID number and full name so the payment routes correctly. Don't mail money orders or cashier's checks—they aren't accepted and will be returned. TouchPay has noted a 2020 Telmate data breach, so review vendor guidance if you're concerned about account data.
