INMATE COMMUNICATIONS
The Atchison County Sheriff's Office has partnered with HomeWAV, as an all-in-one provider for inmate voice calls, video calls, on-site video visitation, eMessaging, tablets, commissary integration, movies, books, music, games, and law library.
***You will be required to set up a HomeWAV Account to call, text, or visit with an inmate.***
VOICE & VIDEO CALLS:
Receiving a call from an inmate is incredibly simple. When an incarcerated loved one logs into the HomeWAV kiosk, you'll get a push notification, and their call requests will pop up on your screen similar to a regular phone call.
TEXT MESSAGING:
Calling isn't the only way you can connect with a loved one using HomeWAV. Use our email and text messaging features if you're looking for a quicker way to chat or share updates.
