Five of the 20 women have already been released and the organization and the rapper hope that the remaining 15 will be released this week.

Aside from being released from the Riverside Correctional Facility in Philadelphia, a gift card will also be given to help them purchase gifts and groceries.

Mill said that when he was in jail, it was devastating for him to be away from his son during the holidays.  He understands how the women feel.

The total amount paid for the release of the 20 women was not disclosed.

Mill’s statement reads: “For families impacted by the criminal justice system, the holidays can be an extremely challenging time. No one should have to spend the holidays in jail simply because they can’t afford bail, and no child should be without their parents during this time if we can do something about it.”

Mill, along with rapper Jay-Z and sports and business leaders created Reform Alliance in 2019 as a response to two to four years of imprisonment for Mill when authorities said violated his terms of parole when he did wheelies on a dirt bike.

According to the organization’s website, they are working on reforming probation and parole in order to stop people being “trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison.”
