If my memory serves me correctly, Johnny Cash was never sentenced to prison. He was held in a cell, posibly overnight, when arrested for carrying drugs from Mexico into Texas. They turned out to be prescription drugs, not illegal narcotics. For some reason, though, he seemed to relate to prisoners, despite them having committed serious crimes. It may have come from his childhood and seeing that it was easy to turn bad if you had a difficult early life. A lot of celebrities claim to have had a poor upbringing, but Johnny's was genuinely tough.

Reason: Typo in 'celebrities'
