Kim Kardashian spent Mother’s Day in jail for a very special reason.
The reality TV star teamed up 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 expenses.
“So 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 hold their children, laugh together and simply become a family again.”
In addition, the SKIMS founder visited the facility’s hospice yard, where they “saw something incredibly moving.”
“Many of the women there have spent decades in prison and have become family to each other and cared for women in hospice so no one has to die alone,” Kardashian shared on Instagram. “I’ve been doing 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 actively involved in criminal justice reform aimed at reducing mass incarceration and supporting people affected by the justice system.
