TMZ reports that Kim's speech at the White House had her announcing a rideshare partnership that will give former inmates free rides to job interviews. Having spent lots of time chatting with inmates and visiting prisons, those who have been released say the biggest hurdle is finding transportation to job interviews. 

Donald Trump also announced initiatives for the Federal government to assist freed inmates in landing jobs when they go back to their communities.

"While I have been able to offer support to some of the individuals I have met, the obstacles to success are an everyday struggle for thousands and more needs to be done," Kim wrote on Twitter.
