How to Set Up Video Visits at Adams County Detention Facility Using Homewav
Adams County Detention Facility uses Homewav for remote video visits and phone calls. Once your account is set up and funded, your loved one can call you during the facility's remote visitation windows.
Adams County Detention Facility uses Homewav for both remote video visitation and phone service. You'll need to create a Homewav account (not a general video app like FaceTime or Zoom) specifically tied to this facility.
Video calls through Homewav at Adams County cost $0.20 per minute, with a 30-minute maximum per call. Plan for shorter, focused conversations. If you still have time left in the visitation window, you can always reconnect afterward.
Note: Phone call rates vary depending on the area being called. If you're budgeting for voice calls, check the rate for your specific location first.
You can create your Homewav account online or by downloading the free Homewav mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Either works. The key is making sure your account is tied to Adams County and linked to the correct person you want to visit.
- Sign up for Homewav - Create your account on the Homewav website or in the Homewav mobile app.
- Select the facility - Choose Adams County Detention Facility so your account is connected to the right jail.
- Select the inmate - Pick your loved one from the list and double-check you have the correct person.
- Add money to the account - Funding the account is what allows the inmate to initiate video calls with you.
The basic requirement is straightforward: add money so the inmate can initiate video calls through Homewav. A few things to know, though. Money deposited into an inmate's account at Adams County can be used for phone services (including Homewav) and commissary purchases. Adams County also assesses a $30 booking fee that's automatically deducted from any funds deposited into an inmate's account, so your first deposit won't all be available for calls or commissary.
Here's how it works at Adams County: the inmate initiates the video call to you, not the other way around. Your job is to make sure your Homewav account is connected to the correct facility and inmate, and that there's enough money available for the call to go through when they reach out.

Tips Troubleshoot

- ✓ Expect calls during the facility’s remote visitation hours (7:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM to 5:45 PM, and 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM)
