San Benito Superior Court Criminal Division (checked 2026-09-12): “How do I find out about someone who is in custody? Call the San Benito County Correctional Facility at (831) 636-4060.” The Sheriff does not publish a public web roster. You need the booked name and personal ID# for mail.

Three things to confirm before the trip.
Visits are scheduled. Call (831) 636-4060 or (831) 902-8945 for the current visiting information and schedule. Arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled visit to register at 710 Flynn Road. Walk-up without a scheduled slot is not how this jail works.
- 01Confirm this jail
Call (831) 636-4060.
If the person is at Youth Services Center (708 Flynn Road), do not come here. If they are in CDCR, use CIRIS. Sheriff HQ at 2301 Technology Parkway does not hold adult jail visiting.
- 02Get the slot

01 / Visiting
San Benito County Jail visiting hours.
Official Visiting page (checked 2026-09-12): “For visiting information and schedule, please call the jail at 831-636-4060 or 831-902-8945.” The visitor must arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled visit to register with the Jail Administrative Officer. If the visitor is not registered 15 minutes prior, the visit is canceled and the inmate loses that visit for the week. Three cancellations remove the visitor from the visiting list. Lockdowns and facility needs cancel visits. If (831) 636-4060 does not confirm this jail, do not come here. Call the day you drive.
