No, jelly roll is talented. He's tried to give a speech, yet he isn't in that life anymore. Not one kid there accepts jelly roll speech. He just said how he had to hussle, thats what these kids do, then expect to make it like jelly roll
@ wouldn’t it be Jesus who keeps you at your best? Since you’re a Christian and no person can do what the lord does? There is no man on earth who makes the future
@nothingmuchatall gained respect from children who have been socially abandoned by their deadbeat parents to "heros" like this? Is this your logic for heroism?
This may not spark an instant desire to do better for all of them, but you could tell by their reactions that they were drawn to him and respected him. A lot times of it's a series of events like this speech along with a series of consequences that makes you wanna do better especially when you're young.
Praying for every young man in that facility to hear, believe and get inspired by Jelly Roll's words. Change starts with you. God bless you Jelly Roll.
Too bad so sad they all future felons sad to say. Recidivism in America is higher than any other country. We put people in cages we don’t rehabilitate.
@@adolfwigga ..eh? Tell that to his back to back sold out shows of young people listening to him and looking up to him. Or is that where we decided to meet for our Women of Christ Euchre Tournament 😉
Went to Juvy at 15. Took me til 43 to get my bachelors degree in IT. This coming year, I am going back from my masters And one day, I will eventually get my doctorate. I’ve had my ups and downs, but jelly when I just discovered you four years ago, changed my life
I just turned 50 a few days ago, and watching this brought tears to my eyes , as someone who was locked up as a kid , if someone would have came in and talked to me like this, I probably wouldn't have ended up a felon. I Love this dude, been watching him since his 10 min freestyle dropped on YT, he has helped change my life and how I look at every day life. Wish I could shake his hand and say thank you fir saving my life.
I saw a black moon rising, in the blink of an eye, As I sat up in the corner in the middle of the night. Cold steel, covering my window sill, I never was a quitter, until I ended up here.
Better to mess up as a kid & go to juvi or “placements” then to F up as an adult & go to prison. I’m thankful everyday I was a dumb ass kid & learned my lessson. I’m 45 now.. not 1 booger on my record 😁
Man, as a boy who spent four years in a juvenile facility, I would be over the moon to have someone like jelly come and talk to me. It might have changed my life. God bless you jelly
@@michaelbushey2787 it's never to late he wasn't there then but he's here now he has a lot to say just listen he's good for my soul just by listening to the word he say now he's the goat
He speaks their language. When we stand up, unafraid, unashamed and tell others our story like Mr. Deford individuals tend to relate and understand. Leading to what made the difference? Allowing for those that believe to share that when we attempt to make change on our own we fall hard and keep messing up. The answer is Jesus and when we put our trust in him our old man and ways might not disappear right away but when it's all left in Jesus's hands old thing and ways become new.
I’m a 63 year old man. This man touched me with his words and music. I’m sure that he’s affected at least a few of these guys enough to have changed their lives. The others will at least never forget him.
Nothing helps a broken person more than a person who was broken, but has been put back together, share their experience, strength and hope with others.
That was me at 14 in 1994. Did 10 years in the California Youth Authority. Still haunts me to this day. Hopefully all of these kids realize a decision that lasts seconds, can last your while life.
The man repeatedly told stories of his hard work and decisions. Give him credit. God won’t fix your car, no matter how hard you pray. This man did the work and changed himself. God didn’t do a damn thing but stack obstacles in his way when he was a child. Jelly Roll made a choice to rise above what “god” did to him.
I did 10 yrs in prison was addicted to meth had 2 kids changed my life my story is alot like jellys i wish i would have had someone like him talk to me someone that has been through it and i respect
Hello Former Criminal Offender here who now works in Medical Transportation I just want to say this is REHABILITATION it's a huge part of helping these Youthful Offenders change their BEHAVIORS and THOUGHT PROCESSES. SALUTE TO THE INDIANA DOC OFFICIALS WHO WANT TO BE PART OF REAL SOLUTIONS.
I am a old man i love this man he is different.i hope he keeps speaking to the youth listen to his words they are so powerful he was put here for a reason
I tried telling people 15yrs ago that jelly was going to change the game someday 😊 and I was in prison 12yrs ago and people thought I was crazy because I was 100% team jelly roll..IM A TRUE AGAME OG..BAD APPLE TO THE CORE
My favorite thing about this video is that he's not talking down at them or to them, he's talking with them. These kids are responding, engaging, and instead of shutting them down he responds to them with a statement, or a joke, and involves who he's speaking with. So many people turn to acting out when they aren't heard, and I think Jelly understands that. He's there to pass along a story and a message that might stick, but he's also there to give these kids a chance to be heard by someone who understands them. First heard of Jelly when he was speaking in Congress about the dangers of fentanyl and literally everything I have seen has done nothing but increase my respect for him.
Wow, this is powerful. What a great person. He also recently visited a max security prison in Oregon, most of the prisoners there will never leave that place until they’re dead. He brightened their spirits and gave them hope that even inside those walls that they are condemned to for the rest of their lives, they can change, and their positive change can make an impact.
Jelly Roll is helping these youth see that there's a life after their poor choices. People can change, if they change their choices. Keeping hope and faith in themselves!
I have mad respect for JR. He shows up and shows these young kids things can change. That they are better then what they've done so far in life and can get better. He shows them love. I also like that other performers go with him. He gives them hope.
I amwas also sentenced to Prison at 17. In Indiana, changed my life. I am 38 now, I've been married for 16 years this December with two loving kids. World works in some strange ways.
This touches my heart. He speaks the truth. My son at one point in life went through a lot and changed his life around. Served for our country from 2009 till 2013. His choice I am so proud of my son. Is 33 now with 3 beautiful children and wife. It's not easy being human 😢
That ending bit where he got firm with he "funny man" then spoke from the heart made me tear up. The level of authenticity he has is infectious and incredible.
I’m not the biggest fan of Kelly’s music.But man he really speaks for people that have genuinely been through it.Nothing but love and success for his future.I hope with his speech he created the future in those kids.Truly inspiring
If he reaches just one of these guys and makes a difference. It's all worth it. He has the ability to grab their attention and give back. He's been given a gift and is using it for a positive purpose. Amen . Praise God!
I’m not a religious person, but I feel like if there was a person doing “the lord’s work” it most certainly is Jelly!! I’ve been a fan of his for 5-6 years now at least. Came across his song Train Tracks on TH-cam and I was hooked. There is no one right now that deserves their flowers and their success more than this man. He is an amazing human being, period!! More people like Jelly and this world would be a much better place. Love this man!!
Wow, he is an incredible man. Whether you like his music or not you can’t argue you that he is an inspiration to these young men. He’s an also great speaker
I will add these young adults to my prayers. I understand where he is coming from God gets the Glory for saving our souls thank you Jesus Christ for the Blood that washed our sins away in a sea of forgetfulness amen
This is why i respect this man. Dont ever change. What celebrity do you see going out and doing what he is doing. Dosnt do this for his benefit. He does it to benefit others. If this wasnt recorded we would never know.
I was a young thug too, who turned into an Old Thug serving a 420-month federal prison sentence with 5-years of supervised release. On March 8, 2024, I completed everything and am now a productive member of society. I love what Jelly Roll does to help others! Our youth is our future. Some of these youngsters may fail, but my prayer is that more will allow Jelly Roll's testimony as the catalyst to change their lives.
I have within the past year heard this mans music and fell in love with it knowing very little about who he was!! Today I fell in love with WHY I love his music because of who he is and where he came from!!!! I believe there will be many, many kids who turn their life around because of Jelly Roll!!!!
That was awesome, i work as a mental health therapist in a place like this and all I want to do every day is just bring hope to someone like this. Thank you for taking time out of your day to have a man like Jelly Roll come to visit you, consider Ronny Radke in the future, he knows this life too.
I was employed at Woodland Hills level 5 in Nashville TN 1990'-2002. Went to Track level 1 in Gallatin, TN, after leaving Woodland Hills. Hi Jellyroll, It's good to see you ministering to these young people. Great message. I wish Jesus was a topic, too.
Man I love this man and have so much respect and admiration for this man and for his Wife!! God is working through them on a daily! God Bless you Jelly!
Been following jellyroll for a long time and he’s truly an inspiration. Thank you for showing what he’s doing for the youth and spreading his positivity.
Thanks jelly. I wish someone like you woulda come chat to me when I did my time in juvenile. Even tho those times hardened me up and made me tougher, I will never get back the kid I was. The dreamer was lost forever. It’s our job to teach these kids there is a better way forward and set the example. Hopefully they don’t go through what we went through. I rather them make dreams come true.
I have so much respect for this man.. hes the most inspiring person. He touches my soul i think he is definitely sent from up above. I've saw him twice he puts on the BEST shows. He's such a amazing human ❤
I swear, Jelly Roll is one of the most beautiful human beings on this planet. He and Bunny do so much good in this world that it completely offsets all the ill they have ever done or will ever do.
Jelly Roll speaking the truth to these young men. I pray that at least 1 of them listened to his testimony and changed their path for the better. This man didn't have to take time out of his busy schedule to do this. I appreciate Mr. Jelly Roll for his loyalty and love for kids and change. I learned about him from my son, who listens to his music. What an inspiration keep up the great work sir.
Letting these young people know that someone understands, that someone has been in their shoes is huge. They are not alone. They have more than just bad choices to make. They have hope. I'm so impressed with Jelly Roll. He never forgets where he came from. What a kind and caring person. Wow. God bless all those who are in jails and prisons and institutions and God bless the people who are helping them to better themselves. There is a lot of pain there. I pray for peace for them all.
Music helps people in different ways and this man has changed his life and helps others do so. These young men will hopefully never forget this. Changing lives he has changed mine.
Jelly Roll! Thank you, brother, for the time you give for the juveniles. I used to work at MVYDC in TN. Thank you because I did what you did for the juveniles. It's just in a different way. Gave them something to work with and then pulled them off the units to play ball with them. Again, thank you.
Listening ro Jelly, feels like I'm watching my husband. My husband has the same past and future. My husband, while in prison had to learn how to regrow up from the age of 9, when his first trauma. My husband's mom turned him in, because she knew him or someone would be dead. My husband said it was the best thing his mom did for him. He's been clean now for 42 years and he has no problem talking to anyone about it. It'd be cool if my husband got with Jelly, they both have this gift to draw kids and adults into his teachings. I always wish my husband would travel to schools. Love you Jelly for who you are and what you stand for.
Jelly Roll is the real deal. He knows the deal and is trying to do what he can do to help folks. God bless him - wish there were more like him. He’s not out there big timing anyone - he’s just spitting truth.
Jelly Roll cares! He would never do this if he didn't. What a blessing to use his platform to share with others. Some will listen and some will not care but the ones who listen will have changed lives.
Thank you Jelly for speaking for Indiana youth, I never went through any of this and am thankful for great parents and love. I respect and understand all these kids, I didn't do the walk but man can I do the talk. I've done some things I'm not proud of but my brother was in and out of facilities all his life. I understand the love these kids need and want to teach kids in NEED of history and fall in love with something. I am thankful for your speech and want to follow in your footsteps of teaching kids PASSION. These kids have much more love and endeavors than a regular kid just not set up for success. I want to make that change take their mind off of the bad and set them in a direction where education and love can make their life complete. READING can help, history or not it's just wanting to show them my passions and hopefully, it brings their passion to light. God Bless.
I love this man!!! I put him on the highest pedestal right now. He is one of the most influential voices in the world right now. Everyone should hear his message . I put him up there with Gandhi, MLK, JFK, Lou Holtz, and a bunch more. We need more of him and nothing less.
just saw his show in okc at the pay comm stadium and this man is 100% genuine with everything he does he got pictures of ppls loved ones that were lost due to addiction and basically stopped the show just to give acknowledgment to the family's in a very heartfelt way
I don’t listen to Jelly Roll’s music, but I love the work and activism that he his wife and his brother do! I think he’s a standup dude! Keep it up jelly roll❤
Fair enough. Have you ever heard ANY of his songs? We all listen to different music, and we all feel our own way. I am not articulate. Maybe 7:21 you tried his music, but you didn't care for it. I totally get it, but I encourage you to listen to a few of his songs. SAVE ME spoke to me, but definitely wouldn't for everyone. I am speaking respectfully. Maybe someone in your life might need it. I'm so incredibly sorry for rambling. Thanks for listening.
He's likeable because he's honest and relatable
Lol this wouldnt be on camera ..

That just shows how much respect he's gained from those kids.
@nothingmuchatall gained respect from children who have been socially abandoned by their deadbeat parents to "heros" like this?
Is this your logic for heroism?
it was the drugs
I love the fact that jelly roll goes back to his past and tries to get these young people on the right track

What an incredible man. Hope these kids really listen to what he is going out of his way to say.
@@MtnDanGarcia trust me maybe not all of them but almost half of them good luck to all the kids that wants a second chance God bless them all
Lol I worked in jails with kids. Some will listen but a big portion won't at all
This may not spark an instant desire to do better for all of them, but you could tell by their reactions that they were drawn to him and respected him.

Why would they? He is a tom macdonald fan.

This is how you talk to the youth, although I don't listen to his music often, I respect him as a person highly.
Man, I have to admit that I didn't "get" Jelly Roll as an artist up until watching this. This is authenticity on display, beauty stuff. All heart
I’m a 63 year old man. This man touched me with his words and music. I’m sure that he’s affected at least a few of these guys enough to have changed their lives. The others will at least never forget him.
Nothing helps a broken person more than a person who was broken, but has been put back together, share their experience, strength and hope with others.
My brother. Jelly has been this same dude on and off camera since I met him 10 years ago. Salute to a real one
100%
You need more motivational talkers like Jelly Roll to help our endangered youth. God Bless all of these kids.🙏
What's up Mike beans
I'm going to show this to youth I work with. I'd love for them to see this in person.

CYA was no joke in the 90s. Lost a lot of brothers to the game. Some wanted the life, some didn’t. There’s gotta be a path for those who don’t.

my sister died from an OD in 2019, this is the most important man we have on earth. he can get to these kids. he can help the systems.
@jellyroll is the best mentor these kids could ever have!!! A wonderful man and a pure soul ❤!
You think a rapist/murderer is a good mentor for kids???? You really should do some research before you comment. He’s pure evil.

Jelly is a smart man. Glad someone that relates to these kids is willing to spend his time trying to inspire and educate 🙌
It's crazy that kids in jail aren't going to school. I think that is what he said.

@JChildress-e9x is that bragging??
Jelly Roll has such passion and emotion. I pray he got through to so many of these young people! Love you Jelly Roll!
Man I love this man and have so much respect and admiration for this man and for his Wife!! God is working through them on a daily! God Bless you Jelly!
Jelly Roll is such an inspiration! God Bless him!
Been following jellyroll for a long time and he’s truly an inspiration. Thank you for showing what he’s doing for the youth and spreading his positivity.
Thanks jelly. I wish someone like you woulda come chat to me when I did my time in juvenile. Even tho those times hardened me up and made me tougher, I will never get back the kid I was. The dreamer was lost forever. It’s our job to teach these kids there is a better way forward and set the example. Hopefully they don’t go through what we went through. I rather them make dreams come true.
I live in Indiana! I'm 61 years old and I just love Jelly Roll! My bucket list is to meet him and tell him how much he's changed my life!
I have so much respect for this man.. hes the most inspiring person. He touches my soul i think he is definitely sent from up above. I've saw him twice he puts on the BEST shows. He's such a amazing human ❤
I have a new respect with Jelly Roll be the first one to tell you don’t know too much about him, but I know a genuine person when I see one.
I swear, Jelly Roll is one of the most beautiful human beings on this planet. He and Bunny do so much good in this world that it completely offsets all the ill they have ever done or will ever do.
Jelly Roll speaking the truth to these young men. I pray that at least 1 of them listened to his testimony and changed their path for the better. This man didn't have to take time out of his busy schedule to do this. I appreciate Mr. Jelly Roll for his loyalty and love for kids and change. I learned about him from my son, who listens to his music. What an inspiration keep up the great work sir.
Letting these young people know that someone understands, that someone has been in their shoes is huge. They are not alone. They have more than just bad choices to make. They have hope. I'm so impressed with Jelly Roll. He never forgets where he came from. What a kind and caring person. Wow. God bless all those who are in jails and prisons and institutions and God bless the people who are helping them to better themselves. There is a lot of pain there. I pray for peace for them all.
Music helps people in different ways and this man has changed his life and helps others do so. These young men will hopefully never forget this. Changing lives he has changed mine.
Jelly Roll! Thank you, brother, for the time you give for the juveniles. I used to work at MVYDC in TN. Thank you because I did what you did for the juveniles. It's just in a different way. Gave them something to work with and then pulled them off the units to play ball with them. Again, thank you.
Listening ro Jelly, feels like I'm watching my husband. My husband has the same past and future. My husband, while in prison had to learn how to regrow up from the age of 9, when his first trauma. My husband's mom turned him in, because she knew him or someone would be dead. My husband said it was the best thing his mom did for him. He's been clean now for 42 years and he has no problem talking to anyone about it. It'd be cool if my husband got with Jelly, they both have this gift to draw kids and adults into his teachings. I always wish my husband would travel to schools. Love you Jelly for who you are and what you stand for.
This is what being selfless and paying it forward looks like. Keep on spreading hope Jelly !
For some of these kids this is prob the first real man to talk real to them!!
God Bless Jellyroll even more than He clearly already has!! ❤
I pray that they take it to heart and change their ways. Very nice of him to go there.
Jelly Roll is the real deal. He knows the deal and is trying to do what he can do to help folks. God bless him - wish there were more like him. He’s not out there big timing anyone - he’s just spitting truth.
Man jelly is such a gift. This dude is about as real as it gets.
Jelly Roll cares! He would never do this if he didn't. What a blessing to use his platform to share with others. Some will listen and some will not care but the ones who listen will have changed lives.
No human on the planet inspires like Jelly inspires. No one, bar none. Period.
Thank you Jelly for speaking for Indiana youth, I never went through any of this and am thankful for great parents and love. I respect and understand all these kids, I didn't do the walk but man can I do the talk. I've done some things I'm not proud of but my brother was in and out of facilities all his life. I understand the love these kids need and want to teach kids in NEED of history and fall in love with something. I am thankful for your speech and want to follow in your footsteps of teaching kids PASSION. These kids have much more love and endeavors than a regular kid just not set up for success. I want to make that change take their mind off of the bad and set them in a direction where education and love can make their life complete. READING can help, history or not it's just wanting to show them my passions and hopefully, it brings their passion to light. God Bless.
Jelly is so real. He truly cares. ❤
I love this man!!! I put him on the highest pedestal right now. He is one of the most influential voices in the world right now. Everyone should hear his message . I put him up there with Gandhi, MLK, JFK, Lou Holtz, and a bunch more. We need more of him and nothing less.
comparing jelly roll to mlk or gandhi is wild
just saw his show in okc at the pay comm stadium and this man is 100% genuine with everything he does he got pictures of ppls loved ones that were lost due to addiction and basically stopped the show just to give acknowledgment to the family's in a very heartfelt way
DEEP respect to you Jelly!!!! Most of us need a Jelly!!! 😌🙏🥰💖🩵💛🎵🎶🫶🫂🫂🫂☮️☮️☮️
@JellyRollofficial1-n2y 🙏🥰💜🫶🫂☮️🕊💖
Just what these young men needed -- positive direction. More people should be doing this -- spreading the positive.
I don’t listen to Jelly Roll’s music, but I love the work and activism that he his wife and his brother do! I think he’s a standup dude! Keep it up jelly roll❤
Fair enough.
Have you ever heard ANY of his songs?
We all listen to different music, and we all feel our own way.
I am not articulate. Maybe 7:21 you tried his music, but you didn't care for it. I totally get it, but I encourage you to listen to a few of his songs.
SAVE ME spoke to me, but definitely wouldn't for everyone.
I am speaking respectfully.
Maybe someone in your life might need it.
I'm so incredibly sorry for rambling.
Thanks for listening.
I have so much respect and love for Jelly Roll!!
Great speech. Thank you for caring about these kids. That speaks volume about who Jellyroll is!! God bless you!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO JELLY. YOU ARE AN INSPARATION TO SO MANY.
This is Honorable. Using his influence and time to try and save the youth.
I hope these young people actually listen to this man, and take steps to turn their lives for the better.
Jelly is such a amazing person. I have Respect for him 100%
