Moreover, The Hill reports that Kim Kardashian West is one of many people who advocated for Johnson’s clemency. Johnson’s case manager, warden, and vocational training teacher penned letters to the White House, affirming her rehabilitation and advocating for clemency.
Alice Marie Johnson will be freed from prison soon.
Today @realDonaldTrump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson. This Administration believes in second chances for those, like Alice, who have paid their debt to society and we are working w/ Congress on #PrisonReform to benefit millions of America’s most forgotten women and men.

President Trump just signed the pardon for Alice Johnson, who was given a life sentence for drug-related crimes, meanwhile rapists and murders get less time.
President Obama had the opportunity and refused to do so. Thank you, President Trump for doing the right thing.
