In the clip, Kardashian West gets emotional as she explains: “there is a mass incarceration problem in the United States. I went into this knowing nothing, and then my heart completely opened up.”
She continues: “People deserve a second chance.”
The reality TV star goes on to explain how she began receiving letters from various inmates, telling her "the circumstances of their lives".
This attention was presumably after she played a role in Alice Marie Johnson being released from prison in June 2018, who was then serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug charge.
