CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Addressing the issue of mass incarceration among minority populations, Exodus Foundation.org prepares for its free annual conference that was created to educate, train and provide support to anyone impacted by mass incarceration. The 2nd Annual Restoration, Redemption & ReEntry Conference,presented by Dr. Madeline McClenney, founder of Exodus Foundation.org, will embrace the topics of Restoring Victims to Wholeness, Redeeming People with Records, and preparing citizens to ReEnter Welcoming Communities.

The Restoration, Redemption and ReEntry Conference is an exciting motivational and inspirational conference that targets youth and adults and the loved ones of people with records. It will include sessions addressing:
- How to rebuild and rebrand your image after prison
- How to move up in a down job market, even with a record
And more….
The evening Town Hall event on May 29, 2015 is open to the general public and brings dynamic speakers to discuss police misconduct in light of the round up and lock up of American citizens. The theme is Black Lives Matter: Where is the Church, Synagogue, Mosque and Temple? Exodus Foundation.org will explore ways to make the community and nation safer for vulnerable men and women with records.
Dr. Madeline McClenney, founder, said “This conference is designed to inform, enlighten and educate the public and those populations directly impacted—often negatively--by an unbalanced judicial system. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, the Restoration, Redemption & ReEntry Conference is here to empower underrepresented men and women so that they, too, can experience the liberties and justice assigned to us all, and the pursuit of happiness with the tangible means to acquire it.”
