Preparations for the 11th year are in full swing and we are curious to see how many of you will arrive this time and with whom we will be able to say hello. This year we focus on a topic that does not leave us calm: children and young people in conflict with the law. The proportion of juvenile offenders has been increasing for a long time. The Probation and Mediation Service alone handled over 2,000 cases of children and young people under 18 last year. We believe that punishment should not be the end point, but an opportunity for change. That's why in this year's Yellow Ribbon Run we are running for those who have their whole lives ahead of them and need support to be able to live it differently.
The opening will take place on 25 March in Heřmanice Prison, the main event will be held on 11 June in Prague's Hvězda Obra. 30 out of 35 prisons in the Czech Republic are involved. We want to show that a second chance makes sense -- and that a company that can offer it is safer for everyone.
You can support us not only by having a personal presence, but also by changing your profile photo on your social networks. It's easy, we've got everything ready for you. Color yourself for the 11th grade and come show that you belong to our community.

Gabriela Slováková's new book is almost here...
There really isn't a mistake in the headline. Gabriela publishes a book full of interviews with women who have undergone punishment, within the publishing house Nastole Media. What will you find in it? Strong stories (not only) from behind the walls of the prison in Světlá nad Sázavou from her time as director. Why did they find themselves here? How do some of them live today, after many years since release? Was their path to a better life straight or did they look behind the prison gates again? How did they manage this life test? And can they find in their life stories the common reasons that put them behind bars?
The book is due out on May 14, 2026. Follow us so you don't miss a better price in pre-sale.

When you are tied to a heater as a child, can you grow up to be a person who has respect and life?
In the winter months, neither we nor our ambassadors were shrouded. Bára Černošková spoke about Yellow Ribbon several times, for example in a podcast Katerina Osičková's Bubbles.
You can also listen to it in CharitAlk, where he talks in even more detail about how the execution of the sentence affects the loved ones of the convict, his family and, above all, children, who are often invisible victims of the actions of their parents.
If you prefer to read, take a look at Květy Magazinewhere you can find a great conversation with Bara. Among other things, you will learn how she got to work at Charles University.
Last year, Bára also published In Her Place, a book about women who have succeeded in the world of men at first sight. The very first interview belongs to our founder, Gabriela Slováková. The book was published in Albatros Media and you can find it in every bookstore.
