Meet the Founders

Rose Randolph, is one of North America's top visionaries on women's empowerment. She along with her husband, Ernest are the founders of SetFree Indeed! Empowerment Center, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit community development corporation inspired and designed to empower men and women previously incarcerated. Many of these men and women have found themselves trapped by a myriad of abuses; be it physical, emotional or chemical substance.

     For eighteen years, Ernest and Rose held Bible studies, special training and Evangelistic outreach programs at the Baltimore City Detention Center, Women's Detention Center, Maryland Correctional Institution for Women, Maryland Annex for Men, St. Ambrose Pre-Release Center and the Baltimore Pre-Release Unit for Women. Hundreds of lives were changed as  a result of these programs, but not maintained when the men and women returned to their communities. After carefully examining these results, the decision was made to develop TRANSITIONAL/RE-ENTRY PROGRAMS. Starting with women these services would consists of Housing, Comprehensive Human Development, Mentoring, Entrepreneurship Training and Career Development. The goal is to train and develop women previously incarcerated to return to her family and community as a loving, caring, self-supporting and productive citizen. Thus, the birth of SetFree Indeed! Empowerment Center, Inc.

     Like many of the men and women Ernest and Rose have encountered, they too have personally experienced and overcame the pain and suffering of these same abuses. Today, Ernest and Rose are committed to training and developing men and women to experience and become all they desire through proven, structured programs specifically written from a practical and spiritual perspective.
