Tennessee's governor pardoned country star Jelly Roll on Thursday for his criminal past in the state, acknowledging the Nashville native's long road back from drugs and prison through soul-searching, songwriting and advocacy for second chances.

Jelly Roll's convictions include robbery and drug felonies. He has said a pardon would make it easier for him to travel internationally for concert tours and to perform Christian missionary work without filling out burdensome paperwork. https://abc7.la/4pOkADm

Please know that FAMM (formerly Families Against Mandatory Minimums) launched a new campaign this summer: Life on Lockdown: A Growing Crisis. For the last two years, we have noticed a significant uptick in the outreach we have received regarding lockdowns in state and federal prisons. We know how hard lockdowns are on incarcerated people and their families. That is why we are working on finding solutions to this problem while creating more transparency on the use of lockdowns so that incarcerated people, their families, and the public are not in the dark about this critical issue.
