JAILS IN SAN FRANCISCO
There are several county jails in San Francisco, as well as one located in San Bruno (although still within the jurisdiction of San Francisco county). They are run by the Sheriff’s Department.
County Jail #1 at 425 7th Street
All prisoners are initially booked in through this jail in San Francisco, but moved to on of the other facilities after booking is complete.
County Jail #2 on 7th Street
This facility houses both men and women inmates, but is the only jail in San Francisco that houses women.
County Jail #4 at Bryant Street
This jail is the maximum security facility for San Francisco County.
County Jail #5 on Moreland Drive, San Bruno
This large facility is actually located in San Mateo County, but falls under the jurisdiction of San Francisco County and City.
If a prisoner requires medical attention or mental health treatment, they are housed in a locked ward at San Francisco General Hospital on Potrero Avenue.
HOW DO I VISIT SOMEONE IN JAIL IN SAN FRANCISCO?
The Sheriff’s Department requires all visitors to schedule visits to inmate online, except for those who wish to visit people being held in San Francisco General Hospital.
Visits can be scheduled via the Sheriff’s Department website, here. Visits are available on weekends and holidays, and at the San Bruno jail on Thursday evenings, although attorneys can visit their clients outside of those times. There are strict rules that apply to jail visits, such as time limits and dress requirements. You should make sure that you review the rules carefully beforehand; otherwise you may not be allowed to visit.
