Singer Jelly Roll is not afraid of going back to jail.
The superstar musician does it to motivate inmates.
On Thursday he visited the Pendleton Correctional Facility and the Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility.
The visit preceeded his Nov. 7 “Beautifully Broken Tour” show at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
“He shared his powerful story of resilience, offering words of encouragement and hope,” said Indiana Department of Corrections in a social media post about the visit. “His message continues to inspire, showing that no matter the past, the future is full of possibilities.”
In October Jelly Roll drove to a Kentucky detention center to speak at a men’s substance abuse program before he performed in Louisville.
The “Son of a Sinner” and “Need a Favor” singer, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has been candid about his past struggles with drug abuse and multiple periods of incarceration as a youth before cleaning up his act.
