What Are Weekend Dates?
Weekend Dates are structured gatherings held at the Polunsky Unit, designed for individuals who are incarcerated, their families, and volunteers. The gatherings typically take place over a weekend and involve a series of activities aimed at promoting personal growth and emotional healing. Each session is carefully planned to encourage participants to express themselves, share their stories, and learn from one another.
The program is built around various themes such as forgiveness, trust, and self-discovery. Through engaging activities, participants can explore these topics in a safe and supportive environment. This format allows individuals to reflect on their lives, acknowledge their struggles, and discover new pathways to hope and healing.

The Role of Volunteers
Volunteers play a vital role in the success of the Weekend Dates program. They provide support, guidance, and encouragement to participants, creating an atmosphere of trust and respect. Volunteers are typically individuals who have undergone training and have a genuine desire to help others.
Their involvement not only enriches the experience for participants but also helps volunteers gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals who are incarcerated. This mutual exchange of support and encouragement is at the core of the Kairos of Texas philosophy.
Who Can Participate?
Weekend Dates are open to women in white who are incarcerated at the Crain Unit, as well as community volunteers that participate in the prison and those who support outside the prison.
Family members of incarcerated individuals are encouraged to participate in Kairos Outside in order to understand the experiences of their loved ones better. This involvement can be a crucial step in the healing process for families, helping them navigate the challenges of incarceration and develop stronger relationships.
