How Does HomeWAV Work?

HomeWAV offers an easy-to-use, cost-effective inmate communication platform that allows those who are incarcerated to chat with family and friends — without the hassle of traveling or setting up an in-person visit. In fact, everything can be done from the comfort of home.

HomeWAV’s inmate-initiated video visitation application allows for:

  • Video calls
  • Voice calls
  • Messaging
  • Account management, including adding or transferring funds
  • Scheduling and confirming on-site/lobby visits (please note that this varies by facility)
  • Receiving notifications and alerts when an incarcerated loved one is available to communicate

 

Once your account has been approved, you will receive a notification every time your incarcerated loved one logs into a HomeWAV kiosk or tablet. When you open the HomeWAV app or log in, your loved one will receive a notification that you are available, and they may start a video call with you.
