About This Facility

Santa Barbara County Main Jail is located in the city of Santa Barbara, California which has a population of 88,410 (as of 2016) residents. This prison has a capacity of 640 inmates, which means this is the maximum amount of beds per facility. Santa Barbara County Main Jail began processing inmates once the original construction was completed and service started in 1961 but may have been expanded or renovated since that time, to accommodate the growing prison population. Prisoners are housed in separate areas depending on the crimes they committed, their current risk assessment, and their behavior. This facility is currently under the supervision of Sheriff Bill Brown and houses male and female offenders.

If you have a family or loved one that is currently incarcerated at Santa Barbara County Main Jail, the first thing you should do is contact the prison for information on the inmate.

Send Books & Magazines

Many correctional facilities let families send books and magazines to an inmate — but almost all of them require the items to be brand-new and shipped directly from the retailer. Anything sent secondhand or repackaged at home is usually rejected at the mailroom. Ordering from a retailer that ships direct is the standard way to get reading material in.

Typical requirements (confirm with Santa Barbara County Main Jail first):
  • Must ship new, directly from the retailer — you can't forward it yourself.
  • Softcover / paperback only at most facilities (hardcovers are commonly banned).
  • No used or third-party marketplace sellers — new copies only.
  • Limits on quantity per package and how many packages may be pending.
  • Address it to the inmate's full committed name and ID number.
  • Use the facility's mailroom address, which can differ from the public address.
Mailing address on file for this facility:
4436 Calle Real Santa Barbara, CA 93110
Always include the inmate's full name and ID, and confirm whether books go to a separate mailroom address.
Before you order: book policies vary by facility and change often, and a growing number of jails accept no physical books at all (reading is provided through electronic tablets instead). Confirm Santa Barbara County Main Jail's current policy by calling 805-681-4250 805-681-4260 so your package isn't returned.
