Emanuel County Jail

Emanuel Detention Center handles visits through HomeWAV on-site video visitation. You'll need to register for a HomeWAV account first—visitors schedule their own appointments through the system. Visits must be booked at least 24 hours in advance, so plan ahead, especially for weekends. The vendor lists on-site visitation hours as Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, but confirm the time in your HomeWAV appointment before making the trip. Kids can come, but they must be with an adult who has a valid HomeWAV account. For account setup issues, technical problems, or refund questions, reach out to HomeWAV's Friends & Family customer support.

Emanuel Detention Center uses HomeWAV Voice (through its video-visitation platform) for regular phone calls from detainees. Calls are allowed during daytime hours and are recorded—keep that in mind when talking. HomeWAV Voice can't connect to pagers or internet-based phone services, so those numbers won't work. To pay for calls, you can add money to an inmate's HomeWAV phone account online using the "Deposit Funds as Guest" option or at the HomeWAV kiosk in the jail lobby. Run into issues? HomeWAV offers a Friends & Family Customer Support Center for help with customer service and refunds. The facility also advertises access to select JPay smartphone services. Set up and verify your vendor account early—before expecting calls or scheduling visits.

Family and friends can add money to an inmate's commissary account at Emanuel Detention Center through the Stewart online deposit system (commissarydeposit.com), which accepts credit and debit cards. Start by selecting Georgia, then Emanuel County Jail from the dropdown menus before entering payment details. You'll need the inmate's name or ID to make sure the deposit goes to the right account. Once added, inmates can use these funds to buy approved commissary items. Other deposit options sometimes available at Georgia facilities—like lobby kiosks, mailed money orders, or other vendor transfers—vary by location. Check the facility or vendor pages to confirm what's currently accepted.

Need to reach Emanuel Detention Center or handle jail-related questions? Start with the official Emanuel County Sheriff's Office and Emanuel County Jail contact pages. The Sheriff's Office page lists the office's street address, P.O. Box, phone numbers, and email for county law-enforcement matters. The jail contact page provides similar details for detention inquiries, including a jail email. You may also find independent directory listings online—one lists Emanuel County Jail & Detention Center contact details for the Swainsboro area, another shows Emanuel Detention Center at 121 Casa Drive, Twin City with phone 478‑763‑2400. Since third-party listings can be outdated, confirm any address or number on the official pages before visiting or sending mail. When you call, have the inmate's full name and booking/ID (if known) ready.
