Kanye West Plays Secret Concert For Harris County Jail Inmates

 Kanye West performed two secret shows at the Harris County Jail in Houston

Spotted quietly unloading trucks of sound equipment at the San Jacinto Street lock-up a little before noon, the Ye’s entourage stirred buzz and drew spectators as they prepped for the unannounced jailhouse shows.

After kicking off with one performance for more than 200 men at the 701 San Jacinto building, West ducked down into the underground tunnel and turned up in the main Baker Street jail to do a second show for a smaller crowd of women.

"This is a mission, not a show," he told the jailhouse crowd repeatedly.

Men in orange put their hands up and smiled as they watched the singer and his gaggle of dancers, wearing navy jail-like scrubs for the show. Looking down from the second tier, men pressed up against the glass as they listened to hits from his gospel-themed Jesus is King album, according to a video released by the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The concert comes two days before West is slated to speak at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church, where he'll have a morning conversation about faith followed by an evening performance with his choir.
