founder of the Fraternal Order of X-Offenders, hosts a weekly radio show on W.O.L.B (1010 am)
that presents community-based, ex-offender driven efforts in Baltimore and elsewhere that are
helping to break the cycle of violence. The primary focus of the F.O.X.O.’s “Breaking The Cycle”
Radio Dialogue is to extend discussion, increase consideration of community-driven alternatives,
and initiate and expand the collective action needed to deter, decrease and prevent the pandemic
of juvenile delinquency and adult criminality gripping Baltimore and many other communities. The
radio show provides a voice to those attempting to change their thinking and behaviors, informing
ex-offenders, their families, and others of opportunities, increasing access to strategies that work,
and exposing those that don’t. You are invited to call in to the radio program at 410-481-1010. To

PAA and F.O.X.O. The P.E.A.C.E. program, developed and implemented by ex-offenders,
connects other ex-offenders with needed resources and uses the power of peer influence to
facilitate the cognitive restructuring and personal supports needed for successful re-integration.
“In order to truly make Baltimore safer, we need to help ex-offenders become productive citizens,”
Mayor Sheila Dixon said. “Project P.E.A.C.E. is going to help a lot of people fulfill their potential
and make meaningful contributions to those around them.” The P.E.A.C.E. program addresses a
variety of social and behavioral issues confronting ex-offenders, including: short term and long
term housing, emergency shelter, transitional housing, substance abuse, parenting, GED
services, employment and job placement, financial literacy and HIV/AIDS information and
education. In addition to the 12-Step Lifeskills Workshops and services such as emergency
shelter, transitional housing, and linkage to other services, the P.E.A.C.E. project provides
individual supports from individuals who have turned around their lives and who serve as mentors
and positive role models. For additional information or referrals, call Project P.E.A.C.E. at
