LOS ANGELES — Kim Kardashian West isn’t the only celebrity speaking out for prison reform. It’s a topic that was also very important to slain rapper Nipsey Hussle, and to Common, Kevin Hart and a host of others who consider the criminal justice system often unfair and dehumanizing. Last October, he headlined a free #TimeDone campaign concert to bring awareness to the 70 million Americans living with a past conviction. In February, while attending the Grammy Awards, Hussle explained why the topic of prison reform was among his priorities. You know we come from gang culture so we dealt with the system a lot,” he told The Associated Press.
