Kim Kardashian West says she's still laser-focused on the women she visited in a California prison over the weekend -- so much so, she's imploring the Governor to do his part for them.
Kim called on Gov. Jerry Brown to sign Assembly Bill 2550, which would restrict male prison guards' interactions with female inmates. Kim said, "The women I met at CA Women's Institution are still on my mind and in my heart."
The bill would prohibit male correctional officers from conducting pat down searches on female prisoners, except in emergency situations -- such as posing a risk of immediate harm to herself or others ... or risk of escaping. It would also prevent male guards from entering areas where female prisoners are undressed ... and force them to announce their presence in women's housing units.
The woman I met at CA Women’s Institution are still on my mind and in my heart. I do hope @GovBrown will sign AB2550 to grant #DignityForIncarceratedWomen #cut50
TMZ broke the story ... Kim went to the prison in Corona, CA and met with 15 inmates to discuss the facility's conditions and women's plans upon release.
The bill Kim's referring to was drafted by a partisan group of Cali lawmakers. The State Assembly still has to vote on it, before it gets to the Governor's desk.
