Jelly Roll performed for prisoners at the Oregon State Penitentiary this week, saying it felt good to try to inspire others as a former inmate.
Jelly Roll just wants to 'spread love.' The country star and former inmate took his music to the yard this week, crooning for convicts housed at the maximum security Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem. The Grammy-nominated star’s set list at the show in the prison’s yard fittingly included Johnny Cash’s 'Folsom Prison Blues,' which he personalized to 'Oregon State Prison.
It felt so good bringing a little light to such a dark place. I am a firm believer that if we commit crimes we should do our time and be held accountable for our actions, but I also believe that every human deserves love no matter how bad of a decision they have made.' Hanes was with Jelly Roll during the show. 'What a show. Amazing. These guys enjoyed the show so much,' Hanes said. Jelly Roll added, 'It felt good to go love on these guys.
