Kim Kardashian's passion for justice reform is truly changing lives.

According to TMZ, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has helped negotiate the release of 17 inmates, who were serving life sentences without parole for low-level drug offenses, in the last 90 days alone.

Kim reportedly teamed up with the 90 Days of Freedom campaign, which was launched by her lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett, and MiAngel Cody of The Decarceration Collective, to put the First Step Act into action. The mom-of-three and current law student is reportedly footing the bill for the team while the lawyers are putting in the legal work to free the prisoners.

News of Kim's life-changing justice reform work came just before Oxygen Media announced that they're working on a forthcoming true-crime series with Kim, who successfully petitioned President Donald Trump to commute the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, who was also serving a life sentence for a low-level drug offense, last year. While details of the show remain unknown, the network released the working title: "Kim Kardashian: The Justice Project," People reports.

Last week, Kim shared another story of a man she helped release after he spent over two decades behind bars. "We did it again! Had the best call w/this lovely family & my attorney @msbkb who just won release for their loved one Jeffrey in Miami - he served 22 years of life sentence for low level drug case," she wrote on Twitter. "He served too much time but it gives me so much joy to fund this life saving work."
