hey does anyone know the address to the santa Rosa prison ?

Santa Rosa doesn't have a prison, are you talking about the Sonoma County Jail? This is the contact info for Sonoma County Jail; 2777 Ventura Ave., Santa Rosa, CA 95403 (707) 565-1400

I am pretty sure that Corcoan is a level 1,3, and 4 facility.
