Two Meetings Between Children and Their Incarcerated Parents in the Czech Republic

Seeing their child and family beyond visiting hours and spending quality time together like an ordinary family — that is the aim of the event, “A Day with a Child.” We have already held two such meetings.

A total of 30 children visited their fathers at the men’s prison in Rapotice, while 18 youngsters visited their imprisoned mothers at the women’s prison.

For the families, we organized a day full of games, creativity, live music, and refreshments. Once again, we witnessed that with our support, children can feel love and closeness even though their parents are behind bars. For incarcerated parents, their children are a huge motivation.

Supporting family relationships is not only meaningful, it is essential!

A Day with a Child will take place later this year at the prisons in Kuřim, Jiřice, and Bělušice. If you would like to help with the event, please contact Kristy Vozdecká.
