Yellow Ribbon Day

The 11th of October will be remembered as a significant day for Fiji's prisoners. It was the launch of the Yellow Ribbon Program.

Thousands of people marched through the streets of Suva to show their support of giving prisoners a real 'Second Chance'.

Sukuna Park became the focus for the activities with prisoners from the various prisons participating in a range of activities including traditional dance and song.

The day was a great success and is the beginning of new public awareness campaign that is encouraging the understanding that a successful reintegration is valuable to all.

The Commissioner of Prisons is to be applauded for the initiative. The Staff and Officers of Fiji Prison and Correctional Service are providing great ongoing support.
