ECF OPEN HOUSE

On Friday, May 16, 2003, the Ellsworth Correctional Facility, located at 1607 State Street, in Ellsworth, Kansas, will be hosting its Ninth Annual Open House. Tours will begin at 8:15 a.m., with the final tour commencing at 10:00 a.m.

Visitors are reminded to wear comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing. The following types of dress are considered inappropriate attire for visitors:
Ø Revealing clothing such as tank tops, halter tops, tube tops, spaghetti strap tie tops, low-cut necklines, and tops revealing bare shoulders or a bare midriff;
Ø See-through or braless attire;
Ø Backless tops/dresses;
Ø Mini or slit skirts/dresses (kick pleats/back vents are allowable);
Ø Shorts or culottes;
Ø Capri pants that do not extend below the knee;
Ø Lycra-spandex items;
Ø Any attire that proclaims gang affiliation or promotes drug/alcohol use.

If attire is not appropriate, admission will be denied.

If you have never taken a tour of the Ellsworth Correctional Facility, I suggest you take the opportunity to do so on the 16th. The facility is the town's largest employee base and it would be nice to show your support for the work they do.

And, if you have not taken a tour recently, you will have an opportunity to see the progress being made on the Spiritual Life Center and other additions to the complex.

Just wear comfortable shoes, expect to walk, and enjoy the experience. You need to remember you are in a prison so dress accordingly.

See you there!
