Best Answer

Johnny Cash went to prisons to entertain prisoners. Although he never spent time is prison himself, he had empathy for incarcerated people. The prison audiences could tell that he was sincere and he was hugely popular among prisoners.

Many people think that Johnny Cash spent time in prison, but he did not. For several decades of his career, he was addicted to drugs and alcohol and there were a number of incidents that he found himself briefly in local jails. Fortunately, his career didn't suffer appreciably and he was able to overcome his addictions.
