The BMF star launched the "ThreeSixty” program to provide support and resources to young inmates aged 18-21. The program offers support, provides life skills training, and guides them through the legal system to prepare for life after their release.

"I’m just excited that they got to bring some of their friends and family to share in a meal and just appreciate each other, love each other. Talk about what we’re grateful for," she said.

"There is life after this. This is a moment in your lifetime, but this doesn't define your life, and I want to make sure that they know that."
