Kim Kardashian was instrumental in getting New Jersey woman Dawn Jackson out of prison after she spent 25 years for fatally stabbing a man who she alleged was sexually abusing her. The reality star used her platform to advocate for Dawn’s release, which she’s been doing since 2018 after Dawn sent Kim letters about her case. Kim played a major role in New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy choosing to commute Dawn’s sentence.
Dawn’s letters inspired the Skims founder to get involved with her case. Kim’s support has gotten Governor Phil to commute Dawn’s 30-year sentence, which will free her 5 years early. According to the governor’s statement, per TMZ, Dawn is scheduled to be released from prison and start a parole supervision until March 23, 2029.

Insiders revealed to TMZ that Kim will continue to advocate for inmates in New Jersey and elsewhere.
Although Kim hasn’t talked to Dawn yet, sources divulged to the news outlet that the two will connect in the next few weeks. Along with fighting for prison reform, Kim is also working on becoming an attorney, just like her late father Robert Kardashian Sr. Last month, she gave fans a sneak peek into her law school journey, revealing that she now needs reading glasses.
