Alice Marie Johnson (born May 30, 1955) is an American criminal justice reform advocate, author, and former federal prisoner whose case became a symbol of sentencing reform and clemency advocacy in the United States.[1] Johnson was convicted in 1996 on federal drug and money laundering charges related to a Memphis, Tennessee cocaine trafficking organization and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.[2] After serving 21 years in federal prison, Johnson was released in June 2018 when President Donald Trump commuted her sentence following advocacy by reality television star Kim Kardashian.[3]

Following her release, Johnson became a prominent advocate for criminal justice reform and founded the Taking Action for Good Foundation to assist others in obtaining clemency.[1] She published her memoir, After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom, in 2019.[4] On February 20, 2025, President Trump appointed Johnson as his "Pardon Czar" to make recommendations about federal clemency, making her the first formerly incarcerated person to hold this advisory position.[5]

Early Life and Background

Alice Marie Johnson was born on May 30, 1955, in Olive Branch, Mississippi, one of nine children raised by sharecropper parents.[2] Her memoir recounts growing up in poverty, living in a sharecropper's shack where the children slept so closely together they could not move during the night.[4] Despite these circumstances, Johnson's parents aspired to better opportunities for their children.[4]

Johnson became pregnant as a sophomore in high school but continued her education, eventually attending secretarial college and becoming proficient in typing and office work.[6] She married her high school sweetheart and had five children during a marriage that lasted 19 years.[6] Johnson built a successful career at FedEx, starting in the secretarial pool and advancing to computer operations management over a decade of employment.[6]

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Johnson's life unraveled rapidly.[7] She lost her position at FedEx due to a gambling addiction, her 19-year marriage ended in divorce, and her youngest son was killed in a motorcycle accident.[2] Johnson filed for bankruptcy in 1991, followed by the foreclosure of her home.[2] At the time of her arrest, she was a single mother of five children struggling to make ends meet.[1]

Criminal Charges and Conviction

Arrest and Prosecution

Alice Marie Johnson was arrested in 1993 as part of a federal investigation into a Memphis-based cocaine trafficking organization.[2] In 1996, she was convicted on eight federal criminal counts, including conspiracy to possess cocaine, attempted possession of cocaine, money laundering, and structuring.[2] The structuring charge stemmed from her purchase of a house with a down payment structured to avoid the $10,000 reporting threshold.[2]

The Memphis operation involved over a dozen individuals and was connected to Colombian drug dealers based in Texas.[2] The federal indictment named 16 defendants and described Johnson as a leader in a multi-million dollar cocaine ring, detailing dozens of drug transactions and deliveries.[2] Evidence presented at trial showed the operation dealt in 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms of cocaine.[2]

Johnson has consistently maintained that she never personally sold drugs or handled drug shipments.[1] According to her account, her role was to relay coded telephone messages between parties involved in the organization and to hold money for one of the individuals involved.[1] She has described herself as a "telephone mule" rather than a drug dealer.[6]

Ten of Johnson's co-defendants testified against her in exchange for reduced or dropped charges.[8] These co-defendants received sentences ranging from probation without jail time to 10 years imprisonment.[8] Johnson, despite having no prior criminal convictions, received the longest sentence of anyone charged in the conspiracy.[9]

Sentencing

In 1997, U.S. District Judge Julia Gibbons sentenced Alice Marie Johnson to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, plus an additional 25 years.[8] At the sentencing hearing, Judge Gibbons described Johnson as "the quintessential entrepreneur" in the drug operation, noting that it had a "very significant" impact on the community.[2]

Johnson's sentence was imposed under federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws that required severe penalties for drug-related offenses.[10] These laws removed judicial discretion and mandated life sentences for certain drug quantities and conspiracy charges regardless of the defendant's role in the offense or criminal history.[10] As of January 2018, 1,545 people in federal prisons were serving life without parole for drug offenses.[3]

Johnson's case was featured in the ACLU's 2013 report "A Living Death: Life Without Parole for Nonviolent Offenses," which documented the stories of individuals serving permanent sentences for nonviolent crimes.[10] Her case became a focal point for advocates who argued that such sentences were disproportionate to the offenses committed and represented a broader pattern of excessive punishment in the federal system.[3]

Incarceration

Prison Conduct and Activities

Alice Marie Johnson served her sentence at various Federal Correctional Institutions, including time at facilities in Texas and Alabama, before ultimately being housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Aliceville, Alabama.[2] During her 21 years of incarceration, Johnson became a model inmate with a clean disciplinary record, and her warden supported her release.[2]

Johnson relied heavily on her Christian faith during her imprisonment, eventually becoming an ordained minister behind bars.[4] She served as a hospice worker for dying inmates, mentored other incarcerated women, and became known for writing and directing faith-based plays and theatrical productions for the prison population.[1] A staff member reportedly told Johnson that "the whole compound is watching you, including staff" and encouraged her to continue her positive activities.[8]

In 2017, Johnson put on more plays and theatrical productions than in any other year of her incarceration.[8] Her work brought comfort and hope to other inmates and staff, and she has said that "in that place of trouble, that is where I blossomed."[8] During her time in prison, Johnson also became a grandmother and great-grandmother, experiences she could only share through limited visits and phone calls.[3]

Clemency Efforts Under Obama Administration

Johnson's case was one of 16,776 petitions filed in the Obama administration's 2014 clemency initiative, which sought to reduce sentences for nonviolent drug offenders serving lengthy federal prison terms.[2] In 2016, she wrote an op-ed for CNN titled asking for forgiveness and a second chance.[2]

In December 2016, President Barack Obama pardoned 231 individuals, many of whom had similar drug-related charges to Johnson.[11] Johnson was not among those who received clemency, despite meeting all of the stated criteria for the program.[11] Her application was denied just before Obama left office, and the reasons for the denial were never made clear.[2] Johnson later said, "When the criteria came out for clemency, I thought for sure—in fact, I was certain that I'd met and exceeded all of the criteria."[11]

Clemency and Release

Kim Kardashian's Advocacy

Alice Marie Johnson's case gained national attention in October 2017 when reality television star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian saw a video about Johnson's story produced by Mic Media.[1] Kardashian posted about Johnson on social media, calling her sentence "so unfair" and began advocating for her release.[1]

Kardashian enlisted the help of her Los Angeles-based attorney, Shawn Holley, to work on Johnson's case.[11] Holley, along with attorneys Jennifer Turner from the American Civil Liberties Union and Brittany Barnett from the Buried Alive Project, represented Johnson in her application for clemency.[3] Barnett, a Dallas attorney, had been working on Johnson's case since her time as a law student at Southern Methodist University and later founded the Buried Alive Project specifically to end sentences of life without parole for federal drug offenses.[12]

In 2018, Kardashian and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner worked to persuade Trump to grant clemency to Johnson.[2] In late May 2018, Kardashian traveled to the White House and met with President Trump in the Oval Office to personally advocate for Johnson's release.[2] The meeting drew significant media attention and represented one of the most high-profile celebrity interventions in a clemency case in recent history.[11]

Presidential Commutation

On June 6, 2018, one week after Kardashian's White House meeting, President Donald Trump commuted Alice Marie Johnson's sentence, and she was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Aliceville, Alabama.[3] Johnson had served 21 years of her life sentence.[2] The commutation replaced her original court-ordered sentence but did not change her conviction.[13]

Kim Kardashian personally called Johnson to deliver the news of her commutation.[1] When the two women met face-to-face for the first time, just one week after Johnson's release, Kardashian said "I love this woman."[1] Johnson told the ACLU that Kardashian's involvement was "one of the biggest blessings of my life" and that they shared "a heart connection."[1]

The Washington Post's Wonkblog described the commutation as somewhat surprising given Trump's past statements in favor of executing drug dealers.[2] However, the commutation was part of a series of clemency acts Trump made in high-profile cases brought to him by associates and allies.[2] Upon her release, Johnson returned to her family in Memphis, Tennessee, and immediately committed to fighting for sentencing reform for other nonviolent first-time offenders.[13]

Full Presidential Pardon

On February 5, 2019, Alice Marie Johnson was a guest of President Trump at the State of the Union address.[2] During his speech, Trump asked Johnson to stand and be recognized, and she received a standing ovation from members of Congress.[2]

On August 28, 2020, one day after Johnson spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention, President Trump granted her a full presidential pardon.[2] The pardon, unlike the earlier commutation, formally forgave Johnson's federal conviction.[2] In October 2020, Trump also commuted the sentence of Curtis McDonald, the last of the 16 defendants in the original Memphis drug case who remained incarcerated.[14] Johnson and McDonald had been the only two defendants in the case who received life sentences.[14]

Post-Release Advocacy

Criminal Justice Reform Work

Since her release, Alice Marie Johnson has become one of the most visible advocates for criminal justice reform in the United States.[15] In July 2018, just one month after her release, she called for an end to mandatory minimum sentencing laws.[2] She has since spoken at numerous events about her experiences and the need for sentencing reform, testifying before legislators and meeting with governors and other elected officials.[16]

Johnson has been deemed a "catalyst" for the successful passage of the First Step Act, which was signed into law on December 21, 2018.[15] The bipartisan criminal justice reform legislation expanded early release programs and loosened mandatory minimum sentences, including those for nonviolent drug offenders.[17] The First Step Act led to the release of at least 3,000 inmates by the end of 2019.[17] Johnson was present at the White House when Trump signed the legislation into law and later spoke at a White House celebration of the act in April 2019.[18]

In September 2019, Johnson met with Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee to promote greater access to expungement, prisoner education, and reduction in barriers to reentry.[2] She has worked with organizations dedicated to criminal justice reform and prison reform and has advocated for clemency for numerous other individuals serving lengthy sentences for nonviolent offenses.[1]

Taking Action for Good Foundation

Alice Marie Johnson founded the Taking Action for Good Foundation (TAG) to assist others in obtaining clemency and to continue her criminal justice reform work.[1] Through her leadership of TAG, Johnson has devoted herself to creating what she describes as "a cultural shift for restorative justice."[15]

Through her foundation and personal advocacy, Johnson has submitted over 100 clemency petitions and helped nearly 50 people gain their freedom.[19] She worked closely with Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and other members of the Trump administration during his first term to advocate for individual clemency cases.[19] Johnson has described advocating for prisoners directly in the Oval Office and even on Air Force One.[19]

Speaking, Writing, and Public Recognition

Johnson has appeared on numerous media outlets advocating for criminal justice reform and has been a featured speaker and panelist at instrumental events and summits across the country.[16] She has been recognized with multiple awards for her advocacy work, including being designated as one of four women honored as a "Women's Right Defender" at the United Nations on International Women's Day.[16] She received the CAOC Advocate for Justice Award in 2019, the Dream Blazer Award from the US Dream Academy, and a Community Advocacy Award from the NACDL Foundation for Criminal Justice.[16]

In 2019, Johnson published her memoir, After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom, with a foreword by Kim Kardashian West.[4] The book details her childhood in Mississippi, her path to incarceration, her faith-driven perseverance during 21 years in prison, and her advocacy work following release.[4] Kirkus Reviews called it "a moving, inspirational story that makes a powerful argument for sentencing reform."[4]

On August 27, 2020, Johnson delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention, thanking President Trump for commuting her sentence and praising the First Step Act.[20] In her speech, Johnson said, "I was once told that the only way I would ever be reunited with my family would be as a corpse. But, by the grace of God and the compassion of President Donald John Trump, I stand before you tonight, and I assure you I am not a ghost."[20] She described the First Step Act as "real justice reform" that "brought joy, hope, and freedom to thousands of well-deserving people."[21]

Appointment as Pardon Czar

Appointment and Role

On February 20, 2025, during a Black History Month event at the White House, President Donald Trump announced that he was appointing Alice Marie Johnson as his "Pardon Czar."[5] In this advisory role, Johnson makes recommendations to the President regarding which federal prisoners should receive clemency, including presidential pardons and sentence commutations.[1]

Trump praised Johnson at the announcement, saying "You've been an inspiration to people, and we're going to be listening to your recommendations on pardons."[5] He told Johnson, "You're going to find people just like you that this should not have happened."[5] Johnson became the first formerly incarcerated person to hold this advisory position.[22]

Johnson described the appointment as a continuation of the clemency work she had already been doing since her release.[1] She stated that Trump had given her "specific marching orders" and that she had previously brought many pardon cases before the President.[1] Johnson noted her established relationships with Attorney General Pam Bondi and other administration officials who could vouch for her work.[19]

Approach and Priorities

Johnson has emphasized that "safety in the communities" is a top priority when making pardon recommendations.[1] She aims to ensure that those who receive commuted sentences have not just a second chance but also "their best chance of success."[1] Johnson has stated, "I don't want to help people come home and then at the same time they're set up for failure."[1]

Her approach includes follow-up and check-ins with individuals who receive clemency, not to "catch them doing something wrong but to make sure that they have things that will help them make right decisions," such as mental health support.[1] Johnson has also stated she would work with Pastor Paula White-Cain of the White House Faith Office and Attorney General Pam Bondi in developing her recommendations.[22]

Reception

Johnson's appointment received praise from criminal justice reform advocates across the political spectrum.[23] CNN political commentator Van Jones, who had worked with the Trump administration on the First Step Act, called the appointment "a very good thing."[24] Jones stated, "Having someone who's a formerly incarcerated person in charge of going through all these pardons and making sure that people get a fair shot—I think that's a very good thing."[24]

Alice Marie Johnson's case has had a lasting impact on federal criminal justice policy and public discourse around sentencing reform.[15]

Clemency Reform

Johnson's case highlighted both the potential and the limitations of the presidential clemency process.[3] Her story demonstrated how individual advocacy, celebrity involvement, and media attention could successfully bring cases to presidential attention, while also raising questions about the accessibility and fairness of a clemency system that often depends on such factors.[11] Her appointment as Pardon Czar represents an institutional effort to apply the lessons of her case more systematically to federal clemency decisions.[22]

Sentencing Reform

Johnson's story contributed to bipartisan support for the First Step Act of 2018, which included provisions for retroactive sentencing relief, earned time credits, and modifications to mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses.[17] Johnson has stated that her commutation "really triggered" Trump's interest in including sentencing reform provisions in the First Step Act.[25] The legislation represented the most significant federal criminal justice reform in decades.[15]

Reentry and Second Chances

Johnson's successful reintegration into society following 21 years of incarceration has been cited as evidence of the potential for rehabilitation and the value of second chance opportunities.[1] Her path from prisoner to author, advocate, and presidential advisor demonstrates the possibilities available to returning citizens when provided with support and opportunity.[15] Her story has been used to argue for expanded reentry programs, reduced barriers to employment and housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, and greater investment in rehabilitation during incarceration.[16]

Advocacy Model

Johnson's case established a model for how celebrity advocacy, media attention, and sustained legal efforts can influence clemency decisions and bring attention to criminal justice reform issues.[12] The collaboration between attorneys like Brittany Barnett, celebrity advocates like Kim Kardashian, and organizations like the ACLU demonstrated an effective multi-pronged approach to individual clemency cases that has since been replicated in other cases.[12]

Personal Life

Alice Marie Johnson currently resides in Olive Branch, Mississippi, near Memphis, Tennessee.[6] She is the mother of four living children and has seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.[6] Her youngest son was killed in a motorcycle accident before her incarceration.[2]

Johnson is a devout Christian and credits her faith with sustaining her through her years of imprisonment.[4] She became an ordained minister while incarcerated and continues to be active in her faith community.[4] She attends Brown Baptist Church in the Memphis area.[19]

Johnson has spoken about rebuilding her life after release, including establishing excellent credit without a co-signer and purchasing a home at a favorable interest rate.[6] She has said, "To go from being the daughter of former sharecroppers to now being an advisor to the president of the United States of America, who could do that but God."[19]

Terminology

This section defines key terms relevant to Alice Marie Johnson's case and her advocacy work.[10]
