Kim Kardashian recently visited a solitary confinement at the Pelican Bay
State Prison in Crescent, Calif.
Kim Kardashian shared a picture
with a group of former prison inmates as she continued her justice reform
work this week.
The Kardashians star, 42, who is an aspiring lawyer, posed a
peace sign as she captured a photo with the men - who had all been given
life sentences, but have since turned their lives around by helping their
communities.
Kardashian, who has been advocating prison reform
advocate, added a lengthy caption that reads, “They all were given life
sentences in prison… and served decades inside before being paroled by the
parole board or commuted by the Governor.”
The SKIMS founder then
introduced the group as she wrote, “Meet Jacob, J’Mel, Dominique, Phil,
Earlonne, Abraham, Serafin, and David.”
Kardashian added, “Scott
Budnick organized a trip to Pelican Bay prison which has been known as one
of the most dangerous prison in California.”
“But these days the
men at Pelican Bay are getting college degrees, making incredible art,
training rescued dogs, becoming computer programmers and are doing self help
and programming with victims of crime,” the reality TV star concluded.
Earlier this month, Kardashian shared glimpses of her visit to
solitary confinement at the Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent.
She
spent a day within the supermax prison in order to meet with prisoners in
solitary, to discuss how their sentences have been affecting their “mental
stability.”
