CLOSING
Guidelines
Kairos #57 Closing Ceremony at Polunsky State Prison, Livingston, Texas, will be held on Sunday, May 17, 2026
Please pass on the particulars of this email to any people you have invited to the Closing. This application has to be
submitted to be valid.
 
All approved visitors should be at the entrance by 1:45 PM. An inside team member will be at the entrance to help
facilitate getting everyone cleared to enter the prison. All will enter together. You will be escorted to the Closing
Ceremony, which is held in one of the gyms.
 
Here are a few tips about entering the prison.
• All vehicles entering the prison property are subject to search.
• It is a felony to have a firearm or ammunition in your car on prison property.
• Please leave purses, wallets, cell phones, pagers, knives, sunglasses unless prescription etc. in
your vehicle.
• Bring your car key/car remote only (if you drove) and driver’s license with you to the Visitor Center.
• Wear your Fourth Day Cross, if appropriate.
• An Officer there will take your driver’s license and issue you a visitor badge. You cannot enter without
your driver’s license.
• Wear “very conservative-non revealing” clothing. Women please do not wear perfume.
• Do not wear shorts, tank tops, cut-off tops, and pants with holes, blouses without sleeves, blouses with low
neck line or open toe shoes.
• Do not wear white as that is the color the inmates wear!!! The saying goes “wear white, spend the
night”.
• Do not wear a smart watch – one that accesses WIFI or serves as a phone/computer.
• Slacks and sport shirts for men are appropriate; long dresses, long skirts or slacks are appropriate for
ladies.
• Please wear comfortable closed-toe shoes; it is a good walk from the front gate to the Closing area.
• Please also consider a final bathroom stop at the front entrance; there is only one restroom for visitors in
the Closing area.
 
This will be an experience and a blessing for you and for the Kairos participants. They do not know you will be
attending. Many will be overwhelmed by the attendance of “free world” Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
If you have any questions about attending, please contact Nancy Gordon via phone at 713.410.5741 (cell) or email Taynan@gmail.com

Sincerely, 

Lance Gordon

Statement of Faith

The people of Kairos are called by God to share the love of Christ with those impacted by incarceration. Kairos encourages believers from a variety of Christian traditions to be volunteers in this Christ-filled ministry.

Kairos programs offer to prison residents, their families, and those who work with them the opportunity to receive God’s forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, and to grow in their faith and servant hood in Christian community. We stand on the common ground of the following elements of faith:

We in Kairos believe:

  •  The Bible is God’s authoritative and inspired word for our faith and our lives.
  •  In the Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  •  In the deity, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
  •  Friendship with God is a free gift, for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
  •  The love of Jesus Christ motivates His followers to provide food for the hungry, drink to the thirsty, welcome to the stranger, clothes for the naked and visits to the sick and those in prison.
  •  In sharing the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with all incarcerated individuals, their families and to those who work with them inside and outside the correctional institution.
