COMING SOON / New Inmate Visitation Service
04/26/2018
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office and Homewav are launching a new service which provides additional communication options for friends and family of inmates housed at the Johnson County Detention Facility. Installation of the new system should be completed on or before May 8, 2018. Below is a screenshot of their website which describes some of the benefits of the system.
INMATE & FAMILY BENEFITS
A four year study completed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections in 2011 concluded that inmate visitation resulted in reductions in recidivism; a 13% reduction for a felony reconviction and a 25% reduction for reincarceration for a technical violation revocation.
The HomeWAV Difference
The HomeWAV system provides a unique, custom video visitation solution that has been adapted for use in detention facilities. Utilizing patented technology, with an emphasis on convenience and usability, HomeWAV maintains a singular position in the remote visitation industry.
SEE HOW HOMEWAV COMPARES
USER FRIENDLY
The HomeWAV System is as simple as a phone call with no minimum call length and no connection fees
STAY CONNECTED
Visiting family members or friends is an important way to maintain connections during incarceration and enhance the inmate’s success both while incarcerated and after release.
CHILDREN ALLOWED
Some facilities do not allow children to enter their facilities, however, with HomeWAV an inmate’s children can say goodnight, from the comfort of their own home.
NO TRAVEL EXPENSES
Family members from distant locations can now more easily visit their loved ones more frequently without any travel expenses.
FLEXIBLE HOURS
Hours of visitation can be expanded due to the reduced staff requirements and can take place seven days a week and throughout the day, as the facility dictates.
Here is a link to Homewav's website which explains more of the benefits they offer to the families and friends of the inmates as well as the inmates themselves.
