Following his stints behind bars and various run ins with the law over the years, Mill, along with other famous names including Jay-Z and Robert Kraft, established the REFORM Alliance, an organization that aims to 'transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing.'

The organization has so far passed 16 bills across 10 states in the name of working toward 'stable communities, stronger families and greater public safety for all.'

On Saturday morning, Mill shared a post from REFORM on his Instagram story that showed one of the women being embraced by a loved one after her realeading.

'They had me locked up somewhere far away from familyyyyyyyyyy,' wrote Mill. 'Blessings.'

In addition to their release, Mill also gave each women a gift card to purchase groceries or gifts, according to a release from the organization.

5. Good man, doesn't seem to give a shit about skin color

only that they're too poor to make cash bail and they have families who miss them, especially on Xmas.

No one arrested for simple possession should be incarcerated.
