Panels at today’s TCA included both Paris Hilton (here to open up about her untitled YouTube doc) and Kim Kardashian West, taking the stage for Oxygen’s Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project. Was this perhaps virtual candy store for reality TV fans?
At least for West, the focus was far from the highly public shenanigans of the Kardashian family and on a different kind of reality television: the two hour Justice Project special to air April 5 on Oxygen. The documentary tells the story of Alice Marie Johnson, a great-grandmother who was serving a life-plus-25-year prison sentence as a first time nonviolent offender.
West campaigned for criminal justice reform and was instrumental in helping to persuade the White House to grant clemency for Johnson.
West, who served as executive producer, was joined on the panel by fellow executive producers Vince Dipersio and Farnaz Farjam and Jessica Jackson, co-founder...

Kim Kardashian West has a very un-“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” new unscripted TV project. In Oxygen’s two-hour documentary, “The Justice Project,” Kim K. attempts to rectify some of the most overblown prison sentences in America today.
After hearing the story of Alice Marie Johnson, a great-grandmother sentenced to life in prison as a first-time nonviolent offender, Kardashian West embarked on a road to advocacy as she campaigned for criminal justice reform and helped convince the White House to grant Alice clemency in June 2018, Oxygen’s description reads. This doc follows Kardashian West, as she lends a hand to right injustices and advocate for change by exploring the cases of Dawn Jackson, Alexis Martin, Momolu Stewart and David Sheppard, all of whom she and the legal experts she is working alongside believe have been unfairly sentenced.
