JELLY ROLL GOES TO JAIL…TO TALK TO THE INMATES

On Tuesday, Jelly Roll made a stop at Hennepin County Jail ahead of his concert at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. He was there to talk to the inmates, and tell them how he turned his life around after spending much of his youth behind bars. He says he was first criminally charged at 13 years old and then spent the next 13 years in and out of prison. He later got his GED in jail. Jelly Roll told the inmates he “didn’t go home to become rich and famous,” but he “wanted to be the dad I didn’t have.” Before he left, Sheriff Dawanna Witt gave Jelly Roll a commemorative key to the jail.
