Thanks to the innovation of a Virginia-based company, loved ones of inmates in the Harrison County Jail can now connect with them via video from the comfort of their homes.
All they need is a computer with a webcam and Internet access.
“It’s a neat concept that definitely saves the jail money and saves the taxpayer money, which is a nice thing,” Gary Humphries, president of HomeWAV, the creator of the service, said in a telephone interview.
The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office launched the new inmate video visitation program this week, becoming the first jail facility in the state to offer direct video visitation.

It’s not the newest social media craze, but it could be a big hit in the jailhouse: video chatting with inmates.
Such a service is about to go live at the Portsmouth City Jail under a deal between Sheriff Bill Watson and a Virginia Beach company. As early as next week, inmates will be able to use a computer to talk to a loved one via webcams for 50 cents a minute.
Proponents say it will be good for taxpayers and the incarcerated, and Portsmouth’s jail will be the first in Virginia to offer it, said Watson and his partner, HomeWAV. Other facilities are exploring it.
