Financing
For funding, Exodus depends on subsidies from the Ministry of Justice, municipal grants or gifts from individuals and charitable funds. Every governmental period is a new challenge in paying the costs for Exodus. The Ministry of Justice only wants to pay for judicial placements, which are formally charged by a judge or prison director. The actual return to society that ex-detainees go through often occurs in a time frame where the responsibilities of the Ministry of Justice have ended but those of local authorities have not yet started, however. Besides that, local authorities often only want to help ex-detainees who lived in their municipality before being detained. However, for many ex-detainees it is important to make a fresh start, away from any problematic relations and a troubled past. Settling in a different municipality takes away reasons for criminality and therefore should be encouraged, but it often is not.
That`s another reason why Exodus is dependent on fund raising. One advantage, at least, is that this places the burden of responsibility for giving people another chance after their punishment on society itself.
