Kim Kardashian reportedly helped free 17 inmates by funding a prison reform campaign
Kim Kardashian has made no secret of her desire to become a lawyer so she can fight for prison reform, and it appears she's already making major strides in that regard. According to TMZ, Kardashian and her legal team have recently helped 17 prisoners gain their freedom, with the celebrity apparently funding a campaign focused on getting people serving life sentences without parole for low-level drug offenses out of jail. When contacted by Mic, Kardashian's reps confirmed the report but had no additional comment.
As TMZ reports, the campaign, called 90 Days of Freedom, was launched by Brittany K. Barnett, Kardashian's lawyer and founder of the prison reform-centric organization Buried Alive, and MiAngel Cody, lead counsel for The Decarceration Collective, a law firm that defends life sentenced prisoners and advocates for their humane treatment.
Together, the trio are currently working for the release of prisoners under the First Step Act, the 2018 law allowing for nonviolent offenders to be considered for early release if they display good behavior. Throughout last year, leading up to President Trump's signing of the act into law in December, Kardashian publicly vocalized her support and met with Trump to discuss the reform measure's importance.
She could sit around the pool all day but chooses to make a difference. Well done Kim.
