Kim Kardashian West is headed to the White House to thank President Trump for commuting the sentences of three former female prisoners.
“President Trump commuted the sentences of three really deserving women. I didn’t hear much about it in the news so I wanted to share with you their [stories]!” Kardashian West tweeted ahead of the Wednesday meeting.

She will make the visit along with Crystal Munoz, Judith Negron, and Tynice Hall — nonviolent offenders who all saw their sentences commuted by the president in February.

Hall spent nearly 14 years of a hefty sentence in prison for allowing her apartment to be used to distribute drugs. The White House said she “has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has worked hard to rehabilitate herself.”
While behind bars, Hall completed several job-training programs and apprenticeships, taught prison educational programs to fellow inmates, and began coursework toward earning a college degree in sociology. She already has a job offer.

Kardashian West also told her tens of millions of followers about Munoz, who was behind bars for 12 of the nearly 20 years she was sentenced to for her involvement in a marijuana smuggling ring. During her time in prison, she “mentored people working to better their lives, volunteered with a hospice program, and demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to rehabilitation.”
The reality TV star and businesswoman additionally highlighted Negron, who was eight years into a 35-year sentence for her role in a healthcare company’s scheme to defraud the government.

Kardashian West, who is fresh off her visit to Paris Fashion Week, has met with the president multiple times to discuss criminal justice reform. She worked to help secure a sentence commutation for Alice Johnson, a nonviolent, first-time drug offender who was serving a life sentence, in 2018. Johnson played a big part in convincing the president to commute the sentences of Hall, Munoz, and Negron.
“I just wanted to thank the president for standing behind this issue,” she said in June.
