Kim Kardashian spent Mother’s Day in prison for a very special reason.
The reality TV star partnered 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 travel costs.
“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 am honored to partner with REFORM and LOHM to help reconnect these families so they can hug 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 have spent decades in prison and have become family to each other, caring for women in hospice care so no one has to die alone,” Kardashian shared on Instagram. “I’ve done this work for a long time, but the humanity, compassion and love I saw there will stay with me forever.”
In fact, Kardashian, an aspiring lawyer, has been active in criminal justice reform, with the goal of reducing mass incarceration and supporting people affected by the legal system.
