Kim Kardashian, alongside her sister Khloe Kardashian and mother Kris Jenner, recently visited the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego to discuss prison reform efforts with a group of inmates, including the infamous Menéndez brothers, Erik and Lyle.
Kim’s Advocacy for Criminal Justice Reform
Kim Kardashian is known for her dedication to criminal justice reform, and this visit was part of her ongoing work in the field. She was joined by film producer Scott Budnick and actor Cooper Koch, who plays Erik Menéndez in the upcoming Netflix biopic series, *Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story*.
During the meeting, the group discussed the “Greenspace” project, a rehabilitation initiative led by Lyle Menéndez that aims to beautify prison yards to support inmate rehabilitation.
Erik Menéndez Criticizes Ryan Murphy’s Netflix Series
Interestingly, this meeting came shortly after Erik Menéndez publicly criticized the Netflix series created by Ryan Murphy, calling it a “naive and inaccurate” portrayal of the events that led to the brothers’ conviction for the brutal murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menéndez, in 1989. Erik accused the series of ignoring the allegations of abuse against their father, which played a significant role in their defense.
Despite Erik’s criticism of the show, Kim Kardashian, who has worked with Ryan Murphy on the latest season of *American Horror Story*, seemed focused on the broader discussion of reform and inmate rehabilitation during the meeting.
Kardashian’s Ongoing Efforts
Kim continues to be a vocal advocate for prison reform, regularly engaging with incarcerated individuals to learn more about the challenges they face and supporting initiatives aimed at improving the criminal justice system. Her meeting with the Menéndez brothers highlights her ongoing commitment to advocating for change within the prison system.
