A virtual total reliance on law-enforcement to deal with a wide range of personal and social problems. The best example is the much vaunted "War on Drugs".

While the federal government spent $11.1 billion for Aid for Families with Dependent Children in 1991, the "War on Drugs" alone received over 12 billion – virtually all of it spent on law enforcement and imprisonment.

One cannot escape the conclusion that the attention focused on prison expansion and sentencing reform have been at the expense of thinking about the goals and process of prisoner reentry.

Reductions in the per capita funding for parole supervision at a time of substantial increases in funding for prison construction is a clear example of policy trade off.

Increasing the size of the prison population does not reduce the problems associated with prisoner reentry but compounds these problems.

There are various opportunities for supervision agencies to work with treatment providers and the community to employ problem-solving methodologies that address the situational risks of re-offending, such as high-risk places, drug relapse and reunification with criminal peers.

A common error that is often made in attempting to address the current chronic offender is the exclusion of the x-offender’s therapeutic value in helping those under the supervision of the criminal justice system to modify their illegal behavior.
FOXO is an entity designed by x-offenders whom have a therapeutic, personal invested interest in the target population currently under the supervision of the criminal justice system.

FOXO’s membership has a proven track record to demonstrate whatever we articulate regarding the possibility of behavior modification. Our personal and collective transformation will be the missing inspiration to give the target population a message of hope and to encourage freedom from a life of death through criminality. "When the thinking changes the behavior changes. Thinking is Destiny."
