How Attorneys Schedule Visits at Santa Rosa County Jail (Email, 24‑Hour Notice, and Emergency Options)

Email your visit request to JailAttorneyVisit@srso.net at least 24 hours before your preferred date and time. Send the email during normal business hours.

Info to Include

• ✓ Client’s full name
• ✓ Requested date and time for the visit
• ✓ Your email address (if different than the sending address)
• ✓ Your telephone number
• ✓ Type of visit (in person or by telephone)
• ✓ Any specialty items needed for an onsite visit (examples: laptop, cell phone, recorder)

For the fastest turnaround, copy the checklist into your email and fill in each line. Listing specialty items upfront (laptop, cell phone, recorder) helps avoid delays for onsite visits.

Need to cancel during normal business hours? Call the jail at (850) 983-1150 or (850) 983-1177. Try to give at least one hour of notice before your scheduled time.

If you are canceling outside normal business hours, call (850) 983-1120.

For an emergency (time-sensitive) attorney visit that falls outside the normal guidelines, you have two options: call the jail at (850) 983-1120, or go to the front lobby. Tell staff you need to conduct an emergency visit with a client.

1. Identify yourself: Provide your name.
2. Identify your client: Provide your client’s full name.
3. Request a time: Give the date and time you are requesting.
4. Give a callback number: Provide your telephone number so a supervisor can contact you with confirmation.
5. Specify the visit type: State whether the visit is in person or by telephone.
6. List any specialty items: Include anything you need for the visit (for example, recording or technology items).

After submitting your request, keep your phone handy during business hours. The jail asks for a telephone number because staff may need to reach you about last-minute issues.
