We Stop the Flow of
African-Americans to Prison
Our vision is to participate in creating a more sane, humane and safe world where color and class discrimination cease to contaminate justice and its resources and punishment as the answer to criminal activity is replaced by atonement, reconciliation, restorative justice and secured mental health treatment.
As a Christian organization that serves people of all faiths or no faith at all our mission is to Stop the Flow of African-Americans to Prison through the one-on-one therapeutic friendships and support groups of the Red Sea Crossings Mentoring program.

If we don’t advocate for returning citizens on the ground and on the hill, systemic reform
will take over 80 years at this rate and our families can’t wait that long.
Dr. Madeline, President/Founder
With God’s help and the Governor’s clemency power, the Wize Coalition 4 Mercy brought Wize home in 2022. He represented the foundation with board member Myra Byarm seen here speaking with Rep. Danny Davis of Chicago at the Annual Legislative Session of the Congressional Black Caucus 2023.
The Wize Coalition 4 Mercy continues the work for clemency for those who have paid their debt to society, made atonement with victims, but the crime does not fit the crime.
Exodus Foundation is in my opinion a “immense” opportunity to start from nothing and rebuild your foundation. That will change your destination on your journey in life and lead you to fulfill your destiny along the way.
Exodus mentors helped me to make and achieve goals. By setting the bar, reaching it and surpassing it I will soon have the American Dream. Without the help of my Exodus Mentors I would be lost and searching for a purpose.
