Visiting inmates at the Jasper County Jail will have a new experience and a new charge in the process.

Sheriff John Halferty got unanimous approval from the Board of Supervisors for installation of the new system this week that he says would replace the old outdated system used now.

A Delaware company called HomeWAV will provide the new system at no upfront cost.

HomeWAV will maintain and service it. Those using the system to visit with inmates will be charged 25-cents for each minute. Once the cost of the equipment installation has been paid for, the county will get 20-percent of the revenue generated by the system and HomeWAV will get the other 80 percent. The supervisors approved a five-year contract for the new system.
