If he hadn’t decided to go after his dream of being a professional musician, he shares could have ended up in jail. Yet, Cody did work as a guard in the Texas State Penitentiary System.

Jelly admits that he had a lot of trouble with the law in the past. He did time in jail for a felony charge and says that he still experiences the consequences. He was in and out of jail for 12 years before he was told he had a daughter; that changed everything for him.
Cody and Jelly have talked about their experiences with incarceration and the penitentiary system.
They Understand The Issues of Family & Fame
Both Cody and Jelly Roll have become famous in a short time so they both know how fame can affect family life. Success and music are important for both of them so they spend a lot of time with their bands and working on their music. On the other hand, they each have families and want to be the best husbands and fathers they can be.
Johnson says they relate to each other. Even though they are opposites in some ways, those differences attract them to each other. Yet, their similarities cause them to truly get what the life of a musician is like. More so, they understand how much work it takes to be fathers, husbands, leaders, and performers.
