The San Francisco County Jails are following COVID-19 guidelines for everyone who enters the jail.
Visitors are required to provide proof of complete vaccination and booster if eligible.
If a visitor does not have proof of vaccination/booster then proof of a negative Covid-19 test dated within 48 hours of the visit must be presented. Negative test result must be from official testing location (Color CityTestSF, Walgreens, CVS, health care provider, etc). A picture of a home administered test will not be sufficient.
K/N95 Masks are required for entry to jail grounds; the visiting rooms and for the duration of the visit until you exit the grounds of the jail. If you do not have a K/N95 mask, one will be provided to you.
Visitors must arrive at the entrance of CJ#2 & #3 30 minutes before the scheduled visiting time to allow time for vaccination/test verification and check in. Anyone arriving late for a visit will be deemed a cancellation.
Social distancing guidelines will apply at all times at San Francisco County Jails.
The TransMetro Shuttle will not be in service.
Please note the regular visiting rules apply to the in-person visits. Violations of the jail rules and/or the COVID-19 protocols will result in termination of the visit. Visit SFSheriff.com to review visitation rules.
