EXCLUSIVE
Kim Kardashian West was destined to spearhead criminal justice reform and free prisoners; she just needed a spark … according to Alice Marie Johnson, the woman who provided that spark.
Alice joined “TMZ Live” Monday to talk about Kim’s continued efforts and success in getting non-violent drug offenders out from under life sentences. She says she’s incredibly proud — and impressed — by what Kim’s doing … but not surprised.
We broke the story … since helping Alice get out of prison last year, Kim’s helped free 17 more inmates over a recent span of 90 days.
She’s also studying to become a lawyer so she can be better equipped for her charitable work.
Johnson’s story is the subject of her new memoir ‘After Life’ … and Kim’s role is obviously significant. Kim also wrote the foreword for the book, and Alice says it’s a must-read thing of beauty … straight from the heart.
It goes on sale Tuesday.
