Kim Kardashianhas upped the stakes when campaigning for ex-prisoner's rights. The reality star - who is fronting a campaign to help reformed convicts find work - attended a White House event alongsideDonald Trump last night, where she announced the creation of a ride-sharing partnership to help ex-convicts attend job interviews.
'Everyone wants the community to be safe,' the lawyer-in-training said. 'The more opportunity we have and that they have, and the support that we help give them, the safer everyone will be.'
It comes after the reality queen- who is the daughter of Robert Kardashian, a member of OJ Simpson’s defence team - revealed in a cover interview with US Vogue in April that she is taking a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco, which requires 18 hours a week of study.
Speaking about her decision to take up her studies, after helping to grant clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, she said, ‘I had to think long and hard about this. The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, “Oh, shit. I need to know more.”
She added, ‘I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people, and I’ve always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.’
