Start with the general process. Then use the facility guide for the local details available there.
Schedules, visitor approval, identification and arrival.
Read the guideCalling accounts, approved providers and connection issues.
Read the guideMailing addresses, permitted contents and delivery rules.
Read the guideDeposit methods, account types and fees to check.
Read the guideA Santa Barbara County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.
Understand jail and prison differencesJail411 is an independent information resource for families and friends. We are not a government agency, jail operator, law firm or live custody-records service.
Start with the official Santa Barbara County Sheriff Who’s in Custody linked on this page. Confirm the booked name, identifier and current facility before using visiting, mail or money instructions. If the record is unclear, call (805) 681-4260.
The listed adult county facilities are Santa Barbara County Main Jail, Northern Branch Jail. Use the current custody record to choose the right building; one facility’s rules should not be assumed for another.
No. This guide separately identifies Susan J. Gionfriddo Juvenile Justice Center, Santa Barbara County Medium Security Facility, Santa Maria Sheriff’s Station, Los Prietos Boys Camp, La Posada Juvenile Hall, FCI Lompoc I, FCI Lompoc II. Youth, state, federal, immigration, city-holding and other-county custody can use different locators, mail addresses, visiting rules and payment systems.
The published adult-jail mail format in this guide is: Main Jail: Name, CID number / Santa Barbara County Jail / 4436 Calle Real / Santa Barbara, CA 93110. Northern Branch: Name, CID number / Santa Barbara County Northern Branch Jail / 2301 Black Road / Santa Maria, CA 93455.. Confirm the current facility and read the mail notes before sending; a jail street address is not always the inmate-mail destination.
Confirm the person’s current facility, housing or eligibility, the current schedule, visitor approval and identification rules, and where to check in. Call the facility before a long trip because housing and schedules can change.
