Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2011
The Yellow Ribbon Prison Run is into its third year and has grown into a highly anticipated event. Join us for a unique and scenic run that will set you on an adventure through time to discover Singapore’s heritage. Delegates will be greeted at the end point by a carnival and be entertained by inspiring song performances and a prison art exhibition featuring original artworks by reforming inmates.
The carnival will also feature a rehabilitation fair featuring an ex-offender’s journey through a photo exhibition complete with a Mock-up Prison Cell and replica of the Prison Visit Cubicle.
Themed “Beyond The Run”, the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run is all about giving ex-offenders a second chances to start afresh. Delegates in this event are lending their voices collectively to a message for all ex-offenders “to pick themselves up and to get back on track”.
