During intake at Santa Rosa County Jail, defendants get at least one completed free local call or one completed collect long-distance call to notify someone of their situation. After booking, phone calls go through a vendor system and are outgoing only. You may need to set up and fund a prepaid or vendor account to receive calls. The jail uses GTL for phone services and provides GTL customer service and automated advance-pay numbers for billing questions or adding money. Some Florida facilities also offer messaging, video visits, or tablet-based services, but features, fees, and payment methods vary by vendor and location. Check vendor rules for moderation, scheduling, and costs before relying on messaging or video.

To put money on an inmate's commissary or phone account, use the lobby kiosk in the main sheriff's office or deposit online at touchpaydirect.com (select Florida and the facility, or use facility locator 232501). The kiosk accepts Visa, MasterCard, and debit. TouchPay transactions may include vendor fees. If the inmate's account is negative, each deposit splits: 50% pays down the negative balance and 50% goes to commissary or Fresh Favorites orders. Inmates are charged a $20 booking fee and a $2.00 per-day subsistence fee (waived for inmate workers). Aramark runs commissary with weekly deliveries. Care packages are limited to one per week and may be restricted for medical or disciplinary reasons. Note: TouchPay/Telmate reported a data breach in August 2020 and published details and protection steps for affected users.
