West has parlayed her reality TV career into successful beauty and shapewear businesses, served as a spokesperson for several charities and causes, blown up into a social media influencer with 164 million Instagram followers, and become a mother four times over.
“Alice kind of became the face of reform but I wanted to show people that there can be other situations,” Kardashian West tells “If they’ve committed a crime they should do time. But the beautiful rehabilitation that can happen behind bars over time is what I wanted to showcase. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Dig deeper to understand what people are going through.”
“Working on individual cases and getting the bills passed, it goes hand-in-hand because you really need this space to show people what justice looks like,” Kardashian West says. “Once people saw Alice’s face and saw her running out to her family and saw that she really is not a threat to society, it softened people’s hearts and was instrumental in getting The First Step Act passed, which was endorsed by a lot of people and completely bi-partisan.
“It does get frustrating, especially when there are situations of someone that’s behind bars for life for marijuana and now it’s legal,” she says. “The bills aren’t retroactive and just knowing that it does not make sense. It’s so sad that someone’s life is just thrown away over something really small. That kind of stuff gets really frustrating.”
