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: all graduation guests may park on the left-hand side of the Estes parking lot. To that end, please do not arrive more than 30 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, dress in a way that covers your body …
- Men: no shorts or muscle shirts
- 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!
As a reminder, here are the assigned check-in times for each family:

If you have any questions about graduation – including dress code, directions from major Texas cities, or a list of what you can/cannot bring (including no wallets or cell phones) – please check our family site here: http://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 you on Friday!
