How HomeWAV Video, Phone, Text and Chat Work at Liberty County Jail (No In‑Person Visits)

Liberty County Jail doesn't allow in-person visits. All visits happen through HomeWAV video visitation, available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:55 p.m. If you're juggling work, school, or childcare, that's the window to plan around - any video time together needs to fall within those hours.

HomeWAV is the main way to stay connected at Liberty County Jail. Through the platform, the jail offers phone, chat, email, text message, and video chat - all within the same 9:00 a.m. to 9:55 p.m. daily window. HomeWAV uses VoIP for phone calls and has a free mobile app, so you can manage calls and messages from your phone instead of a landline. The platform also supports a messaging suite for ComPAS tablets with text, image, GIF, video, and voice messaging. What's actually available depends on what the jail has enabled for the person you're trying to reach.

If your loved one was just arrested, their first calls will likely come from the booking area - not a regular housing unit. Liberty County Jail allows booking-area phone calls at two points: when someone is initially booked in, and again when bond is set. This helps set expectations. The booking process is when you're most likely to get that first call after an arrest. If you don't hear anything until bond is set, that's also normal for how calls work at this jail.
