NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) – Thanks to Kim Kardashian West, one of the first inmates released as a result of reforms to the federal sentencing system no longer has to worry about rent before five years.
Matthew Charles told Tennessean last week that he could not find permanent housing since his release on Jan. 3, partly because of his criminal background. But on Sunday, Charles announced that Kardashian West, a supporter of criminal justice reform, would help him. He said that she was not doing it to attract attention, but he simply had to share it.
Convicted of a non-violent drug offense in 1996, Charles drew national attention because he had been sentenced to prison in 2018, two years after his sentence had been declared unfair. He attended this year's State of the Union speech at the invitation of President Donald Trump.
