Alice Johnson, the moment she was released from prison and reunited with her family

This is the moment #AliceMarieJohnson was finally reunited with her family after more than 2 decades. Johnson was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense — and then Kim Kardashian West stepped in. mic.com/alice

Welcome home, Alice! Can't wait to see you in Memphis as a free woman. Thank you for your tireless support, Kim Kardashian: We did it! Over 3,200 ppl are still serving life w/o parole sentences like Alice's for nonviolent offenses. Read their stories here aclu.org/report/living-…

I am honored to have been part of the legal team that represented Alice Marie Johnson. I’m grateful to the president for allowing Alice to go home after 21.5 years in prison and to Kim Kardashian for her tireless advocacy on Alice’s behalf. nyti.ms/2M3ykrh

Great story quoting my fierce co-counsel Brittany K. Barnett: “You do not need to be an expert to know that Alice does not deserve to die in prison. Kim's using her platform to literally save someone’s life. You don’t have to be an expert to know this shit is wrong.” interc.pt/2sMYmGm

.Jennifer Turner on the case of Alice Marie Johnson, whose life sentence for a first-time drug offense was commuted this week after a meeting between Kim Kardashian West and President Trump: "Without clemency from Donald Trump, she would have died in prison"

More than 3,200 people are, like Alice Marie Johnson, serving life without parole for nonviolent offenses. "Only sentencing reform is going to fix the problem," says Jennifer Turner. "There needs to be industrial-scale clemency." #DNlive
