When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Santa Cruz Blaine St Jail is a detention center located at 141 Blaine St Santa Cruz, CA which is operated locally by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Santa Cruz County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Santa Cruz Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Blaine Street Women’s Facility, established in 1984 at 141 Blaine Street, incarcerates non-violent, minimum-security women serving sentences of up to a year. However, there is currently no dedicated medium-security facility for women in the area. Medium and maximum-security female inmates are housed at the Main Jail, where most women are classified under medium security. At present, 39 women are housed in the Main Jail, with nine of them being sentenced and eligible for medium-security housing. Recognizing the need for a Women's Medium Security Facility, the Sheriff’s Office aims to provide alternate housing for these inmates.
Regarding inmate finances, Blaine Street does not accept inmate deposits. Money can be deposited daily at kiosks in the Main Jail Lobby or the Rountree Medium Facility, which accepts cash and credit cards, and operates 24/7. Money orders payable to the inmate can still be mailed in, and credit card deposits can be made online at www.santacruzpackages.com.
For property release, excess personal property can be released upon request by the inmate or an officer. A property release form signed by the inmate is required, and releases occur Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
The camp offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

The inmate is responsible for submitting a Visitor Clearance Form. The inmate will need each visitor’s full name, address, phone number, date of birth and a Government ID number (i.e. Drivers License, Passport). The inmate submits the completed form to the Jail Staff for visiting clearance. Anyone who has been in custody within the past 60 days, is on parole or formal probation, has a warrant or restraining order prohibiting contact may not visit.
Visiting days are Saturday or Sunday. Visiting hours are: 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. All visitors must be approved in advance.
Visiting Rules
All visitors entering the secure area of the jail are subject to being searched. Any person refusing to be searched will be denied the visit and escorted from the facility.
