Kim Kardashian visited a prison in Washington, D.C. There, she met Momolu Stewart, who was in the movie Slam in 1998.

At that time, Stewart was just 17 years old and in prison for a serious crime. He was later found guilty of taking a man's life and had been in prison for 22 years.

After meeting Kim, Stewart posted a picture of them together with the message, "Making power moves from the inside with my sister @kimkardashian. My next move is even bigger, and I'm thinking five steps ahead."

Kim was inspired by this visit and wrote a letter to the judge, asking for Stewart's release. This worked! The judge reduced Stewart's sentence to the time he had already served and put him on probation for five years.

On Monday, at 39 years old, Stewart was released from the Central Detention Facility after spending over 23 years in prison, a prison spokesperson confirmed this.

Stewart and another man, Kareem McCraney, were sentenced to life in prison for an encounter in 1997 that took the life of Mark Rosebure. At a court hearing, McCraney explained that they went to confront Rosebure, and when he reached for his waistband, they then reacted. Stewart was only 16 years old at that time and was tried as an adult.
