Kim Kardashian is taking her work with prison reform to another level. According to reports on EOnline.com, following Kardashian’s help to get the First Step Act passed, the firstperson released from jail as a result of the new prison reform act was Matthew Charles.
The reality star recently came across an article which reported that Charles, who was granted clemency earlier this year, was denied housing due to his background, which included 20 years in prison.
A source confirmed to EOnline.com that the 38-year-old has agreed to pay five years of rent for the former prisoner.
Charles posted the happy news on Facebook and revealed, “Kim did not do this for attention or publicity, but I had to share it, because it’s too good not to, and my heart is about to burst with happiness, that I wish you to rejoice in this news with me (sic),” Charles wrote on the social media platform, adding, “Thank you Kim Kardashian-West and tracy for the love shown to me when I was locked up. And now that I'm free.. My heart is enlarged (sic).”
