Dear PEP Graduation Guests,
The guys are SO excited! Here are a few last-minute notes about Friday’s ceremony:
- The Estes Unit address is 1100 FM 1807 in Venus, TX – please eat lunch and use the facilities prior to your arrival
- Remember to bring your most patient, positive self to check-in on Friday – the security staff is just doing their job … and while I know how excited y’all are, please don’t stand in line for more than 5 minutes before your assigned check-in time
- Parking info: guest parking is on the left-hand side of the Estes parking lot
- If you have any metal in your body, please bring your doctor’s note in with you – otherwise, you will be subject to a much more thorough and time-consuming screening if you set off the metal detector
- Dress code matters! If you don’t want to be either sent away or forced to wear the ugliest, most hideous artist smock for the day (includes during pictures), leave the flipflops and short skirts at home and dress in a way that covers your body:
- Men: this means no shorts or muscle shirts; also, no shirts with advertising on them, please
- Ladies: the Estes Unit is an all-male prison, and since men are enticed by pretty ladies, please do NOT wear revealing clothing – this is for your loved one’s sake! Here’s the deal: if a guard says you are showing too much skin (leg, belly, cleavage, booty), the guard gets to decide whether to send you home or provide you with the absolute worst-looking smock ever to wear over your outfit for the entire event.
If you have any questions, please check here first: https://family.pep.org/estes/graduation-2/grad-details/. If your question isn’t covered there, please let me know so we can clear things up as quickly as possible.
IF YOU KNOW YOU WON’T MAKE IT, please let me know ASAP if you haven’t told me already (so we don’t keep staff in the parking lot waiting for you to check-in).
Thanks so much for making the time – safe travels, and I’ll see you on Friday!
Blessings,
Laura
