Visitors may create their accounts online at Homewav.com or by using the kiosk located in the lobby of the jail. Upon creating their accounts, visitors will be required to provide a clear photo of their ID and a clear photo of their face. No filters or altered photos may be used. Any visitor that submits an unclear or filtered photo will have their account denied until the uploaded photo meets all requirements.

Bonds
All bonds must be paid with exact cash. All other methods of payment will not be accepted. Bonds will be accepted 24/7 at the jail. If you wish to use a surety bondsman they must be registered with the Owen County Clerk. If your inmate is required to be placed onto GPS they can only be released Monday through Friday during normal business hours. This allows the probation department to place your inmate onto GPS. You can still pay the bond before they are placed onto GPS, but they will not be released.
