Jelly Roll spent time in and out of jail before he launched his music career, and he is very passionate about helping those who are incarcerated. Videos recently shared on TikTok show him performing for inmates at a prison where he once did time. In November, Jelly Roll revealed plans to donate $250,000 to build a recording studio within the Davidson County Juvenile Detention Centre. In a recent interview, he shared that he spent three-and-a-half years at the centre before being charged as an adult for a crime he committed in his youth.
