Jelly Roll has been known to stop by prisons to visit and preach to inmates…because he spent time in jail when he was younger. This time he stopped by a juvenile detention center in Ohio and schooled a bunch of kids at spades.  He joked that playing cards was more fun than preaching at them.  But he did some of that too.  

Jelly Roll has said that he went to jail 40 times in total and was in and out of facilities for more than a decade starting at age 14. He says that he wrote hundreds of songs in his cell.
