The group also had the opportunity to discuss ways the system could better support safety and rehabilitation. Getting a first look at one of the rehab services, the group toured the program's Paws for Life program.

"It’s always an honor to be able to visit the men and women living behind our prison walls," she said in a statement. "Hearing the stories of people trapped in the prison system is what drives my commitment to advocate for reform and find ways to leverage my platform to help change lives and laws."

She continued, "Today I was especially thrilled to bring REFORM's Future Shapers Advisory Council inside the prison as well. We are building up the next generation of leaders and influencers who will join us in this fight."

Michael took to his social media to share pictures and share the importance of giving the young leaders the chance to see and hear firsthand experiences.

"We visited Lancaster Prison (LAC) with this committed group of young leaders and members of REFORM's Future Shapers Advisory Council to hear firsthand from people in the system and learn about what we can do to improve it," Michel wrote on both Instagram and Twitter.

"This was an important step towards building up the next generation of leaders who will work with us to collectively reform and improve our supervision system and advocate for a fairer and more logical justice system," he added. "Thank you to @kimkardashian, @jessicajackson and @reform for building upon February's Gen Z dinner and continuing our efforts to transform probation and parole across the country."
