HomeWav
Attorneys may now conduct non-monitored, non-recorded attorney/client visits via Homewav, the jail’s video visitation provider. These will be visits that attorneys can conduct remotely with their clients by use of the attorney’s iPad, tablet, computer or other electronic device. Keep in mind that, for the time being, although the visits will not be monitored or recorded, they will not be completely private, meaning that others within the inmate’s pod that happen to be standing around may be able to overhear what is said. This is because, at this point in time, the Homewav visitation kiosks are not enclosed but, rather, a standing unit in each of the pods. If these visitations gain traction with counsel, there is a possibility that the Sheriff’s Office will look at adding additional kiosks and then also enclosing some kiosks for full privacy in the pods for the attorney-client video visitations. At this point, the goal is to add some accessibility for attorneys to contact their clients housed in our facility, particularly in the early stages of the case.
Modification of Protocol for Visitation with Imates in WYCO Jail
Effective immediately, the Wyandotte County Sheriff has directed that visitation by attorneys and other professionals (bondsmen, RADAC, Pretrial Services) will no longer be allowed in the visitation area which is located just outside the Central Control unit. Contact visitation will be allowed in the designated areas in each of the pods.
Requests for visitation should be directed to Collen of the Jail Administrator’s office. This protocol is being modified due to loss of one of the jail elevators, and ongoing staff issue relating to visitations being conducted outside the pods. Any questions should be directed to Jail Administration.
Thank you,
Hon. R. Wayne Lampson
