Dear Registered Graduation Guests,

Here are a few notes about this Friday’s PEP graduation ceremony:

  • With so many family members attending graduation, we tend to stress out the Estes Unit staff a bit, so please bring your most patient, positive selves to check in on Friday.  The folks there at check-in are just trying to do their job.
  • Parking info: guest parking is on the left-hand side of the Estes parking lot. Also, please do not arrive more than about 10 minutes before your assigned check-in time.
  • Dress code matters, so if you don’t want to be sent out on a last-minute shopping spree, leave the flipflops at home and dress in a way that covers your body … 
  • Men: no shorts or muscle shirts (shouldn’t be a problem with the cold weather, but …)
  • Ladies: the Estes Unit is an all-male prison, and since men are enticed by pretty ladies, please do NOT wear tight-fitting or otherwise revealing clothing  – this is for your loved one’s sake!
  •  We can’t wait to see you.mp4

If you have any questions about graduation – including dress code, physical address, directions from major Texas cities, or a list of what you can/cannot bring (including no wallets, quarters or cell phones) – please check our family site here: https://family.pep.org/estes/graduation/grad-details/ first. If your question is not covered on that page, please let me know so we can clear things up as quickly as possible. 

Safe travels, and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you on Friday!

Blessings,

Laura
