Kim Kardashian spent Mother’s Day in prison for a very special reason.
The reality star teamed up with REFORM Alliance and Ladies of Hope Ministries to help 50 incarcerated women in Chowchilla, Central California, spend Mother’s Day with their children by covering their travel expenses.
“Many of these mothers have spent years away from their children and families, missing birthdays, holidays and everyday moments that most of us take for granted,” Kardashian said in a statement. “I’m honored to partner with REFORM and LOHM to help reconnect these families so they can hold their children, laugh together and simply be a family again.”
Additionally, the SKIMS founder visited the facility’s hospice courtyard, where they “witnessed something incredibly moving.”
“Many of the women there spent decades in prison and became each other’s family, caring for women in hospice so no one had to die alone,” Kardashian shared on Instagram. “I’ve been doing this work for a long time, but the humanity, compassion and love I saw there will stay with me forever.”
Indeed, Kardashian – an aspiring lawyer – has been actively involved in criminal justice reform, aimed at reducing mass incarceration and supporting those impacted by the justice system.
