Description

Sentenced to life in prison for a non-violent crime in 1996, Alice Marie Johnson had resigned herself to the fact that she would never see the outside world again. But that changed in 2018, when President Donald Trump commuted her sentence after a direct plea by Kim Kardashian West. Now a free woman after 21 years, Johnson has partnered with Stand Together to help promote criminal justice reform. Johnson and Stand Together's senior vice president Mark Holden joined CBS News' consumer investigative correspondent Anna Werner to discuss her story and the changes they hope to see in the system.(Please note this conversation took place in early March.)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
