How to Contact an Inmate at Facility
At Christian County Jail (KY), inmate phone calls go through HomeWAV Voice, which is tied into the facility's video visitation system. When your loved one calls, they're using HomeWAV's platform rather than a traditional landline.
HomeWAV is a VoIP (internet-based) phone service designed for jail calls and built to work with jail management systems. For families on the outside, HomeWAV offers a free mobile app that makes managing inmate communications easier. Keep in mind this describes general HomeWAV functionality, and your facility's exact workflow may differ.
Note: Call pricing, setup requirements before receiving calls, and whether non-HomeWAV options exist aren't covered here. Verify those details with the facility or through the HomeWAV system the jail uses.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Expect regular inmate phone calls to come through HomeWAV Voice via the facility’s video visitation system
- ✓ Use HomeWAV on your end (often through the free mobile app) so you are using the same system the jail supports
- ✓ Follow the facility’s HomeWAV-specific process for receiving or managing calls, since the jail’s setup can require facility-specific steps
- ✓ Keep the housing-area phone window in mind: phones are available daily from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm
Check the calling hours before you wait by the phone. Inmate phones are available daily from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm, but schedules can shift due to lockdowns, housing routines, or other operational changes.
