How to send messages, photos, and packages
Address all mail to the inmate's full name at Santa Rosa County Jail's street address. Since 4/12/2021, personal mail is electronically scanned and delivered to inmates—the physical original gets destroyed after scanning. Scanned mail arrives Monday through Friday, except holidays. All incoming mail is opened and inspected for security threats and contraband. Legal and privileged correspondence is different: it's opened only in the inmate's presence. As of 11/21/2022, privileged mail is copied on colored paper while the inmate watches, then the original is destroyed after they confirm receipt. Don't mail cash or personal checks—money in any form is contraband and won't be delivered.
