Kim Kardashian is forging full-steam ahead with her efforts toward criminal justice reform in the U.S. In May, HYPEBAE reported on news that she’d quietly helped free 17 inmates over the course of three months, and now the reality star has shared photos from her recent visit to a D.C. prison in conjunction with her upcoming documentary.
Kardashian will executive produce the film, titled Kim Kardashian: The Justice Project, which is set to air on Oxygen. According to the network, the documentary will showcase her "efforts to secure freedom for Americans who she believes have been wronged by the justice system.” The 38-year-old tweeted about the project on Saturday, stating: "I hope you will learn about the justice system the way I have."
We filmed a documentary I am working on that will be out on @oxygen and I hope you will learn about the justice system the way I have.

She also took to Twitter to share images of her recent visit to a D.C. jail along with Georgetown professor Dr. Marc Howard, who Kardashian explained teaches a class at the detention center. "I met so many amazing people that can’t wait to share their stories with you," she said.
