She made news over the weekend when she partnered with Michael Rubin -- co-chair of REFORM Alliance -- to pay off the legal fees of more than 50 mothers on probation or parole across the country.
These women accumulated their fees after being placed on either probation or parole. The costs can provide significant challenges for the mothers and can derail the progress they've made and hinder care for their children. According to Kardashian, the women selected had made strides in their rehabilitation and had a proven track record of success. The only road blocks that remained were their outstanding financial obligations.
"It's hard to fathom what these mothers have to go through," Kim said in a press release."All they want is the chance to rebuild their lives, and yet our system keeps them stuck in an endless cycle of supervision. I want to do my part to give these women the second chance they've earned." "I urge lawmakers and advocates across the country to work toward changing outdated laws that keep too many people unnecessarily behind bars. I will continue to bring awareness to these important issues until there is change," she continued.
