How to send messages, photos, and packages
Staying in touch with someone at Hill Fenkley Detention Center works through a few specific channels. All visitation, whether on-site or remote, happens by video through HomeWAV. You'll need to create an account there to schedule sessions and handle billing. Use the HomeWAV portal for setup, scheduling, and tech support rather than calling the facility. Most vendor systems require advance booking and limit how late you can change or cancel, so plan your time slot early. For general questions, the detention center's main line is available 24 hours a day at 843-719-4546. Sending mail? Include your name and return address along with the inmate's full booked name, and follow the facility's Smart Communication PO Box addressing format.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
