I was irresponsible and selfish because I didn't think about when I went to prison, what about the kids... that it would hurt them and the family. “
“These people come out of jail with nothing. Unless they have someone who gives them a helping hand, who pulls them up, who sees them as a person and not as a prisoner, it's awfully hard for them to start over. “
“The fact that there are a lot of perpetrators of crime means that there are a lot of victims. If we want fewer victims, we have to work with the perpetrator. We have to teach him other patterns of behavior, we have to give him a chance to see a better tomorrow and we cannot think that it ends with him walking out of prison when he has nowhere to go... “
“A third of the people are the ones who don't go back to that prison again because they're there episodic - they have a good family, a job. They have failed, but they know the advice and someone will take care of them. Then there is a third that goes back there, it has become such a lifestyle for them, but not because they yearn to live in prison, but because you have nowhere to go outside and no one wants you. That third includes extremely dangerous people who need to be locked up. And then there's a third, and those are the ones we need to work with so they don't come back. “
What is the path from prison to freedom and into ordinary life? What is it like when you get a second chance and can start again and better after leaving prison? What are the current challenges of Czech prisons? Lumír, a dad of three and a man who spent several years in prison, shares his experience in the podcast Don't Be Away. The second guest is Gabriela Slováková, founder of Yellow Ribbon Run and director of the Probation and Mediation Service. Podcast completo Listen on Youtube.

Snídaně s neziskovými organizacemi a naše nová ambasadorka
Minulý čtvrtek jsme se sešli s neziskovými organizacemi, které pracují s dětmi, mladými lidmi a rodinami. Společně s naší novou ambasadorkou, herečkou a moderátorkou Míšou Maurerovou, jsme představili nové téma, ale hlavně jsme mluvili o tom, jak se do Žluté stužky mohou zapojit oni a jejich klienti.
Klientům, včetně těch nejmladších, chceme i nadále nabízet registraci na Yellow Ribbon Run zdarma. Na start se tak nepostaví jen jako běžci, ale také jako součást společné kampaně za druhou šanci pro každého, kdo chyboval.
S organizacemi, které s námi běhají nebo se věnují podobnému tématu, se v příštích měsících zaměříme na tyto otázky:
- S čím se děti a mladí lidé nejčastěji potýkají?
- Kde dnes můžou najít pomoc?
- Co v systému chybí?
- Jak dát jejich zkušenosti a hlasu prostor ve Žluté stužce?
- Jak může naše komunita ukázat, co po průšvihu může následovat?
Pracujete s dětmi nebo mladými lidmi? Budeme rádi, když se přidáte. Napište nám na veronika.friebova@yrr.cz

Thank you for running with us
The 11th annual event is behind us, and we want to say just one thing: THANK YOU. 💛 Together, we have shown once again that running can bring people together, break down prejudices, and open doors to second chances.
Nearly 1,200 of us stood at the start
Nearly 700 of us gathered at the Obora Hvězda park for the start of this year's Yellow Ribbon Run to take our places at the starting line.
- Over 400 inmates participated in runs held within prisons.
- 60 young athletes took part in the kids' run.
- The record for the highest participation among employers and partners this year goes to A-GIGA with 38 participants.
You can look back on the entire day in our photo gallery.
Thank you to all the runners, volunteers, partners, Czech Prison Service staff, organizers, and supporters. Without you, the Yellow Ribbon Run would not be what it is.
