While behind bars at the DC Central Detention Facility, commonly known as the D.C. Jail, Stewart became a part of the Georgetown Prison Scholars under Dr. Mark Howard, who praised Stewart’s transformation from a street tough to a man who wants to contribute to society.
Stewart seemed extremely humbled by Kardashian’s assistance as evidenced by his chat with Oxygen.
“She has the ability to believe in others when the conventional aspect of things would be to shun ‘em,” Stewart said.
