She revealed her newest venture during a podcast episode of “Wrongful Conviction” that same day. “I had a call with a gentleman that’s in prison for a drug case. “[He] got life. It’s so unfair,” she said. “He’s 30 years old. He’s been in prison for almost 10 years.”

The KUWTK star dished on her trip later on Instagram. “It started with Ms. Alice, but looking at her and seeing the faces and learning the stories of the men and women I’ve met inside prisons I knew I couldn’t stop at just one,” she wrote. “It’s time for REAL systemic change.”

Kardashian aided in the prison release of Alice Marie Johnson, whose life sentence for a non-violent, first time drug offense was lifted in May. Johnson had already served 22 years in jail at the time.
