How to send messages, photos, and packages
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.
