Brother Bey, the 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 learn more about FOXO, visit their website at hhtp://www.foxo.us or email Brother Bey at

• On January 11, 2008 Mayor Dixon was at 4601 Park Heights Ave along with representatives from the Prisoner’s Aid Association of Maryland (PAA) and the Fraternal Order of X-Offenders (F.O.X.O.) to officially open the doors of Project P.E.A.C.E (Proper Education Always Corrects Errors), a collaboration between PAA and F.O.X.O that will connect thousands of ex-offenders each year to services provided in its crime prevention and recidivism avoidance program 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 410 367-8393 or Brother Bey at 410 262-4456.
